What this means for your family

The Carrollton offers a beautiful, high-end environment with excellent activities and management. However, given recent reports of nursing errors and inconsistent care for more challenging residents, we strongly recommend that families conduct frequent, unannounced visits and closely monitor medication administration and health status during the first few weeks of residency.

The Carrollton is a beautifully renovated facility housed in a historic building, widely praised for its aesthetic appeal, cleanliness, and professional management team. While the vast majority of families report high satisfaction with the attentive staff and quality of care, there are serious concerns regarding inconsistent nursing oversight and potential bias in care delivery among some nursing assistants.

Key Review Excerpts

My father’s health declined so rapidly due to lack of competent nursing care he was admitted to the hospital just two weeks after being placed there.. I meet a couple of times with the Director of Nursing and the Executive director and nothing changed.

Long-term resident's family · 2025☆☆☆☆

I would like to know why aren't some of the CNA's not doing their job's at this facility? They choose to help with certain residents and ignore the ones whom can be a little difficulty.

Visitor/Family member · 2024★★★★★

It’s not at all an easy job dealing with memory care residents, but they do it with grace and care. I feel very safe having my mother there, knowing the memory care unit is secure, clean and staffed with experienced aids.

The facility shows recurring issues across medication management, food safety and dietary services, and infection control that have persisted across multiple years. While all deficiencies show correction dates, the repeated nature of problems in core care areas warrants careful evaluation during any visit.
