Key Review Excerpts

My grandma was at Alaris Belgrove, and I can’t say enough good things about the care she received. From the moment she arrived, the staff treated her with kindness, patience, and respect.

Memory care family member · 2025★★★★★

The therapy department was phenomenal — compassionate, knowledgeable, and fully committed to helping patients reach their goals. The therapists took the time to create a personalized plan.

Rehab patient family member · 2025★★★★★

My grandmother walked in and we had to take her out basically carried out. They are mean and cruel. They forced her to stand up knowing she can’t and she fell TWICE.

This facility shows concerning patterns with 31 deficiencies across 6 surveys and multiple family complaints triggering 7 deficiency reports. The most recurring issues involve fire safety systems, medication management, and care planning standards. While all deficiencies show correction dates, the persistent nature of problems across multiple years—particularly repeated medication errors and care quality issues that generated complaints—suggests ongoing operational challenges that families should carefully consider.
