      Caring staff but deadly neglect

      The home is immaculate, bright and cheerful - staff were loving, patient, knowledgeable and really cared, the social life and weekly favorite foods were wonderful. But I had serious problems with the owner raising prices and charging for every day (including days Mom wasn't there/for an empty bed) - I felt he was dishonest. More importantly, it's not equipped for memory care: lack of supervision led to my mom's fractured pelvis, hospitalization and ultimately her death. I'd recommend it only for residents without memory issues.

      Summary review

      Overall sentiment in these reviews is mixed, with several strong positive themes about the caregivers and the physical environment contrasted by serious negative concerns about management practices, billing, and at least one major safety incident. Multiple reviewers praise the staff as compassionate, patient, kind, and knowledgeable; they describe an immaculate, very clean home with bright, cheery rooms and a generally cheerful atmosphere. The facility is noted for individualized touches such as accommodating a resident's weekly favorite foods and fostering a community that many residents and families enjoy. Several reviewers explicitly state they would highly recommend the home and emphasize that staff members genuinely care about each individual.

      At the same time, there are consequential negatives that cannot be overlooked. One reviewer reports severe lack of supervision and unsafe care that allegedly led to the resident suffering a fractured pelvis, subsequent hospitalization, and ultimately death. That report includes sharp allegations about the owner (described as crooked) and problematic billing practices — recurring mentions that the owner increased prices, charged for every day including days the resident was not present, and billed for an empty bed. These are serious claims that indicate potential care quality and administrative/ethical problems in addition to one reported catastrophic clinical outcome.

      A recurring nuance in the reviews is the apparent mismatch between the highly praised caregiving and the management/billing concerns. Several reviewers praise how loving and attentive caregivers are, and how well the home is kept, which suggests the direct-care staff may be dedicated and effective for certain residents. However, the serious allegation of insufficient supervision and the gravity of the reported injury indicate either inconsistent staffing/oversight or at least a failure in some instances to meet safety standards. This pattern suggests variability in resident experiences: many families had positive impressions, while at least one experienced a severe adverse event and reported questionable business practices.

      Another consistent theme is suitability: the facility is described as emphasizing socialization and community life, which is a strong positive for residents who thrive on interaction and activities. Conversely, reviewers note this environment may not be a good fit for residents who are less social or who have significant memory-care needs. Multiple summaries explicitly state the home is not equipped to provide memory care, and one reviewer cautioned that the social expectations made it unsuitable for their mother. This indicates the care model leans toward assisted living-style social engagement rather than specialized dementia or memory-support services.

      Taken together, these reviews paint a picture of a well-kept, warm, and socially active adult family home with many hands-on positives in terms of caregiver demeanor, cleanliness, and individualized touches. However, there are red flags around management, billing transparency, supervision, and clinical safety for higher-acuity or memory-impaired residents. Families considering this facility should weigh the strong testimonials about staff and environment against the serious safety and financial concerns raised; they should specifically verify current staffing levels and supervision practices, request written billing and vacancy policies, ask for the facility's incident/complaint history and licensing records, and confirm whether the home can meet any specific medical or memory-care needs before making a placement decision.
