    Understaffed, unsafe dementia care facility

    I had a terrible experience at this small, secured dementia facility - it was understaffed, not clean, and there were no activities for residents. I saw residents escape and later found on the road or miles away at night; the owner seemed more interested in money than care and acted erratically, and when they rescheduled us to their partner (Belle Vista) I felt it was unsafe - I would not recommend this for my parents.

    Summary review

    Overall sentiment across the review summaries is strongly negative, with a handful of isolated positive comments. While a few reviewers said they liked the place and appreciated its small size, the dominant themes are safety failures, staffing shortages, poor maintenance/cleanliness, inadequate programming, and serious concerns about management. Multiple reviewers explicitly stated they would not recommend the facility.

    Care quality and safety are the most frequently and most severely criticized aspects. Although the facility is described as a secured location intended for advanced dementia and Alzheimer’s care, reviewers report multiple elopement/escape incidents. Specific accounts include residents being found on the road and found miles away at night. These reports indicate significant gaps between the facility’s stated secure purpose and its real-world performance. Several reviewers concluded the community was not suitable for their parents, citing these security failures and the associated risks to vulnerable residents.

    Staffing and activity levels are other recurring problems. Reviewers described the facility as understaffed and reported that residents were inactive with “nothing going on.” Requests for more activities were made by at least one reviewer who otherwise liked the small scale of the community, suggesting that limited programming may be a factor that could be addressed if staffing and priorities changed. The combination of understaffing and low activity levels contributes to a perception of poor day-to-day care and low resident engagement.

    Facilities and environment received negative comments as well. Multiple summaries mentioned that the facility was not clean and that the surrounding area was unappealing. These observations reinforce an overall impression of neglect and poor upkeep. No reviewers commented on dining or food service in the summaries provided, so there is no available information on that aspect of care.

    Management and leadership are prominent concerns in the reviews. Several reviewers made strong negative claims about the owner, describing the owner as “money-hungry” and alleging the owner has “mental problems.” While these are subjective and serious allegations, they reflect strong distrust of management among reviewers. There are also operational criticisms: at least one reviewer reported being rescheduled or transferred to a partner facility called Belle Vista, which may indicate instability or an inability to meet resident needs in-house for some families.

    In sum, the reviews reflect a pattern of serious safety incidents, perceived understaffing, low resident engagement, cleanliness problems, and deep mistrust of management. The only consistent positive notes are that some people liked the facility’s small size and that it is positioned as a secured dementia care location; however, reported security failures undermine that advantage. For families considering this community, the review pattern suggests exercising caution: verify current safety protocols and incident histories, tour the facility multiple times at different hours, ask specifically about staffing ratios and activity programming, and follow up on how management responded to any past elopement events or cleanliness complaints. The overall tenor of the reviews indicates significant areas of concern that should be thoroughly investigated before placing a vulnerable loved one in this facility.
