What this means for your family

We strongly advise families to look elsewhere, as recent reviews contain consistent, alarming reports of neglect, theft, and unsanitary conditions. If you must consider this facility, perform an unannounced visit during evening or weekend hours to observe staffing levels and cleanliness firsthand, and demand a clear policy on how they handle medical emergencies and family notification.

The Estates of Spanish Lake faces severe and recurring allegations of neglect, theft of personal property, and poor communication with families. While a few reviewers mention individual staff members who care, the majority of feedback describes a facility with dangerous hygiene standards, including reports of rodents and residents left in soiled conditions.

Key Review Excerpts

I was delivering DoorDash to a resident who was laying in her own urine and feces and past DoorDash orders that had seemingly been there for weeks.

Delivery driver · 2026☆☆☆☆

My mother was only here for about a year. Came here in good health. A month ago she was taken to ER and they never notified us. She was clearly neglected and I blame them for my mother's death.

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

Rodent’s everywhere in the places where the residents eat and sleep. Random medications laying around on the floor.
