What this means for your family

While older reviews praise the facility's cleanliness and care, recent eyewitness accounts of verbal abuse toward dementia patients are deeply concerning.

Key Review Excerpts

Ardent Care really takes great care of him. Secure, clean, happy spot for him to enjoy the food, activities, comraderie. The expert care and close attention is top notch.

Long-term resident's family · 2017★★★★★

This place initially seemed like a great fit for my mother. I later learned the staff was verbally abusive to patients (witnessed many times!), yelling at people with dementia.
