What this means for your family
This facility offers a warm, socially active environment that many families find comforting, but the reports of severe neglect and safety lapses in the memory care unit are critical red flags. If you are considering this location, we strongly recommend conducting unannounced visits, specifically on weekends, and asking management for their specific protocols regarding fall prevention and staff-to-resident ratios.

Key Review Excerpts
“The care staff is amazing! They ALL treat her as if she is their Mom or Grandma. 😊 The facility is very clean, the staff is professional.”
“My mom suffered a fractured arm here due to mishandling from staff, fell out of bed and laid on the floor for hours before being transferred to ER, developed bed sores so bad you could actually fit a fist into them!”
“You would think that a memory care facility would have the foresight to put alarms or proper locks on their windows.”
