What this means for your family

Families should conduct an unannounced visit to observe cleanliness and staffing levels firsthand before committing, as recent feedback suggests a significant gap between the facility's appearance and the actual quality of daily care.

Key Review Excerpts

My father was in memory care for a little under 7 months there until he passed away. His room was never cleaned properly, smelled of urine and had feces on the floor.

Memory care family member · 2025☆☆☆☆

Meals that were supposed to arrive hot consistently showed up cold — and worse, many were simply placed on a table my mother couldn’t reach.

Resident's family · 2025☆☆☆☆

I hate to say it but Covid, heavy turnover & a change in upper management has really impacted the quality of care here. I think they are on their 4th director in 4 years.
