What this means for your family
While some families report a warm, homelike environment, there are recurring, serious reports of neglect and unsanitary conditions in recent years. If you are considering this facility, we strongly recommend unannounced visits and asking for a detailed plan on how they ensure hygiene and patient hygiene assistance, as these are the most frequently cited concerns.

Recent negative reviews highlight critical failures in basic care, such as infrequent hygiene assistance, understaffing, and unsanitary conditions. Families should be aware of the significant gap between the positive experiences reported by some and the alarming accounts of neglect described by others.”

“If I am VERY luckt I only get changed 3 times a day. Usually I only get changed twice. I know this violates federal standards.”
“The staff at Aperion went above board, and above and beyond the call of duty. From administration, to the support staff, to nursing staff, to the CNAs, to dietary, and even the redmsidents themselves, everyone was pleasant, welcoming, patient, understanding, helpful.”

Inspection History
Medicare Inspection History
3-year lookback · Medicare 2026
This facility has a concerning pattern of complaint-triggered deficiencies with families reporting issues related to abuse prevention, resident rights, and safety hazards. The most recurring problems involve fire safety systems (sprinklers, alarms, emergency exits), medication management errors, and protecting residents from abuse and neglect. While all deficiencies show correction dates, the persistent nature of safety violations and multiple family complaints about fundamental care protections suggest ongoing operational challenges that warrant careful consideration.
