Key Review Excerpts

My grandma was here for three days and day one she had an accident and didn’t get any help until my aunt stopped by, which was 3hours later. They didn’t even check in. Her oxygen dropped down to 64, she was suffocating and they weren’t doing nothing.

Memory care family member · 2024☆☆☆☆

The staff at Arbor View was very helpful and caring from the time our Dad entered 'Independent Living' in October, 2022 until he passed away as an 'Assisted Living' resident on March 9, 2024.

Long-term resident's family · 2024★★★★★

The facility lacked the proper back up equipment for emergencies. Had lots of trouble getting issues resolved. The facility has a horrible stench through out from patients not being properly cared for in a timely manner.
