What this means for your family
Brethren Village is highly recommended for its beautiful living spaces and proactive, attentive care staff. However, families should carefully review the residential living agreement regarding deposit refund policies, as recent feedback indicates potential challenges in settling estates after a resident's passing.

23 reviews on Google“Brethren Village is generally highly regarded for its beautiful, well-maintained facilities and attentive staff, particularly in the areas of rehabilitation and long-term residency. While many families express deep satisfaction with the care provided to their loved ones, there are notable concerns regarding administrative transparency, specifically regarding the refunding of residential deposits after a resident's passing. Potential residents should weigh the positive community atmosphere against the potential for bureaucratic friction during estate settlement.”

Inspection History
Medicare Inspection History
3-year lookback · Medicare 2026
Families have filed multiple complaints leading to five deficiency findings, most concerning repeated violations for protection from abuse and neglect occurring three times over two years (2023-2025). Other issues include facility safety problems, pressure ulcer care, and medication management. While all deficiencies were reportedly corrected, the recurring pattern of abuse protection violations and ongoing family complaints suggests potential quality of care concerns that warrant careful consideration.
