What this means for your family

While independent living residents often report a high quality of life and strong social connections, families seeking assisted living or memory care should proceed with caution. Multiple reports of medication errors and neglect suggest that you should conduct a thorough, unannounced visit and specifically ask about their current staff-to-resident ratios and medication management protocols.

Key Review Excerpts

However, if you need any care-BEWARE! Our Mother was there for several weeks from December 2023 to January 2024. Being health care providers, We witnessed neglect and lack of personal help on numerous occasions.

Assisted living family member · 2024☆☆☆☆

My Mom was there for several months and the staff took great care of her. But, the business office is a different matter. I have tried numerous times to call and talk with them about a credit on my mom's account. They never answer their phone and they do not return my calls.

Resident's family · 2023☆☆☆☆

We moved my mother to American house in Holland to be near my house. What a costly mistake. They mixed up my mom’s medications and bill but didn’t seem to care.
