What this means for your family

While Beacon is frequently praised for its physical therapy and location, the recurring reports of neglect for bedbound residents and poor communication are critical red flags. If you choose this facility, ensure you have a plan for frequent, unscheduled visits to monitor your loved one's hygiene and medical care personally.

Key Review Excerpts

The staff are the nicest people and Chris denallie is so nice and the people at the front desk are so nice and they treat you with respect and and some of the residents are kind too

Family member · 2024★★★★★

The facility is visibly dirty with obvious water damage on the ceiling and walls. There were over 20 dead flys in the resident bathroom. The staff are forced to work double and triple shifts with regularly 1 CNA to over 10 patients.
