    Misconduct, harassment, broken promises, neglect

    I had a terrible experience: staff misconduct and sitter harassment, and they even charged us for a sitter. Management gave inconsistent statements and promised compensation after my complaint that fell apart; staff seemed checked-out and there were never enough caregivers. It was tense and stressful, my loved one was stuck in a double room with a roommate, so my family had to bring food and ultimately pulled them out.

    Summary review

    Overall sentiment from the collected reviews is predominantly negative, with multiple reviewers describing serious concerns about care, staffing, management, and the facility itself. While food quality is noted as a positive in at least one review and there is at least one instance where management provided compensation after a complaint, the dominant themes are deterioration, inadequate/responsive staffing, misconduct, and financial and emotional harm to residents and families.

    Care quality and staffing emerge as central problems. Reviewers repeatedly describe staff as disappointing or "checked out," and several comments point to not enough staff on duty. These staffing deficiencies are linked to a tense, stressful environment and have prompted at least one family to remove their relative from the facility. Reports of staff misconduct and sitter harassment are particularly alarming because they speak directly to resident safety and dignity. The combination of understaffing and allegedly apathetic or inappropriate staff behavior indicates systemic problems that affect day-to-day care and resident wellbeing.

    Facility condition and living arrangements are also flagged. One review bluntly characterizes the building as "falling apart," suggesting maintenance and physical plant issues. Additionally, the presence of double rooms with roommates is noted; depending on expectations and how the roommate situation is managed, this can be a source of discomfort or privacy concerns for residents and families. These facility- and space-related concerns compound the negative perception created by staffing and behavioral problems.

    Financial and ethical concerns appear prominently. Several reviewers allege exploitation, specifically being charged for a sitter and other forms of financial exploitation. The term "sitter harassment" coupled with being billed for sitter services suggests both misconduct in staff behavior and questionable billing practices. While one review mentions compensation after a complaint, that response appears reactive rather than preventive; it indicates that problems have occurred and were only partially addressed after escalation.

    Management and communication are another consistent area of criticism. Reviews cite poor management, inconsistent statements from administrators, and scenarios where families felt misled or inadequately informed. Inconsistent management communication undermines trust and makes it difficult for families to make informed decisions about care. The fact that at least one complaint resulted in compensation shows some willingness to respond, but the pattern in reviews indicates that corrective actions may be sporadic and not systemic.

    Dining is one of the few consistently positive notes: "good food" is explicitly mentioned. However, that single positive does not offset the breadth of substantive concerns about safety, staffing, facility condition, and financial integrity. Taken together, the reviews paint a picture of a facility struggling with leadership and operational problems that directly affect resident safety and family confidence. Prospective families should weigh the favorable comment about meals against the many reports of misconduct, understaffing, maintenance issues, and billing concerns, and should seek thorough, up-to-date information and direct observation before making placement decisions.
