What this means for your family
Chestnut Fields offers a warm, activity-rich environment that many families find comforting for their loved ones. However, given the reports of medication errors and administrative turnover, we strongly advise you to ask for their specific protocols on medication administration and how they ensure care plans are communicated to frontline staff.

Key Review Excerpts
“My loved ones care plan was updated constantly but never seemed to be shared with those actually taking care of my elderly parent. Wrong meds were given, meds were missed.”
“Due to Alzheimer's she had to move into assisted living. I live overseas and they kept me informed about what was going on with her. I felt like the staff genuinely cared about my mom.”
“The staff kept her busy with monthly outings, parties and fantastic care. They treated my grandmother as family.”
