Key Review Excerpts

The staff is very caring and loving towards my Mom. I know the staff isn’t just making a “show” of being kind and caring when I am there - because my Mom smiles and doesn’t shy away when the staff comes in.

Long-term resident's family · 2023★★★★

The staff was absolutely the best around they showed kindness and compassion from day one. They were so kind when they were passing. The most professional group of people any family could ask for.

Memory care family member · 2023★★★★★

Every little thing that is changed or they may have a question about, they call me. I Love this facility.

Well below state avg (13.8)
2 complaint-triggered

Elizabeth Care Center has persistent issues with fire safety systems and emergency preparedness appearing across all three surveys, including repeated problems with smoke barriers, fire door maintenance, and backup power systems. The facility also shows recurring deficiencies in care planning, medication management, and food service. One complaint was filed by families triggering an investigation into treatment and care issues. While all deficiencies show correction dates, the pattern of repeated fire safety violations across multiple years raises safety concerns families should investigate during visits.
