What this means for your family
The facility has seen recent improvements under new management, particularly regarding cleanliness and memory care. However, because multiple reviewers have raised serious concerns about night-shift staffing ratios and patient neglect, we strongly recommend visiting during evening hours and asking specifically about the nurse-to-patient ratio on the night shift.

Key Review Excerpts
“Aperion took the best care of my father. He was treated with respect, love and patience. He was groomed and bathed and dressed daily without fuss. He felt secure in the memory care unit.”
“Aperion care took great care of our grandma when she needed it most. She was always comfortable there and enjoyed the company and care of the nurses. Management and staff were very courteous and explained our grandmothers care plan in detail.”
“Food is horrible. Patients are neglected and not tended to on a consistent basis. No hot water available for bathing. There are some good loving staff members, but they are overworked and underpaid.”
