Key Review Excerpts

The facilities are well-designed and beautiful. All the staff are good at what they and go out of their way to help, and are as friendly as it gets

Long-term resident's family · 2026★★★★★

The care & management team are top notch and go above and beyond to make the residents feel at home, cared for, and safe. From the resident response time, to the cuisine, and their food network style kitchen they use daily for collaborative baking sets it apart

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

I encourage anyone considering this terrible place to research the death in early 2025 on the DHHS website. Calyx was given an A1 violation, which is the highest violation possible.

The facility failed to provide adequate supervision for a resident who became entrapped and asphyxiated between a Halo Safety Ring and his bed. Despite the resident's high fall risk, history of falls, and specific transfer orders requiring staff assistance, the facility did not ensure the resident's needs and safety were met according to his care plan.
