What this means for your family

While many families enjoy the active social environment and friendly staff, there are recurring, serious reports of administrative failures regarding deposits and distressing lapses in basic resident care. We strongly recommend that you speak directly with current residents' families and ask for a clear, written policy on move-out billing and how they ensure hygiene standards are met on night shifts.

Key Review Excerpts

I paid her October rent on the 27th of September and I still have yet to receive a refund. I'm told that the corporate office is working on it, for 2 1/2 months? I call the community to get an update of when i should be receiving the refund and never get a call back.

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

They would leave her sitting in the dining room from 8am- 6pm soaked in her piss for 12 hours a day. Mind you she was unable to move her wheelchair alone and required assistance to get to and from her room.

Memory care family member · 2025☆☆☆☆

From the beginning, we could see that Clearwater was different. Cleaner, more staff, more active, healthier food. And most important, staff who cared.
