What this means for your family
Aperion Care DeMotte has a strong team in admissions and therapy, and many families report a clean, welcoming environment. However, the recurring reports of hygiene neglect and slow response times are critical red flags. We strongly recommend visiting unannounced, specifically checking the condition of residents in the '100 hall' and asking management directly about their current staffing ratios for weekend shifts.

Key Review Excerpts
“The CNA’s were kind to her, and the nurses were very compassionate and took time with her. She did enjoy most of the food, but she was never a very big eater. The therapy staff was kind and did push her to do the very best that she could.”
“My loved one (who is not able to care for herself or report on her care) is always well dressed and relaxed and clean when I stop by unlike the nursing home where she was before. Even when I show up unexpectedly.”
“My mom was left sitting in her feces for over 2 hours yesterday (March 7). The staff refuses to help my mom up on Sundays so she can move around in her wheel chair. They say they are understaffed.”
