What this means for your family

Golden Hill has a very active and well-regarded activities program and a strong rehabilitation team, making it a good choice for those seeking engagement and recovery. However, families should be aware of consistent reports regarding weekend understaffing and communication barriers; we recommend asking for a direct contact person for your loved one's care team before admission.

Key Review Excerpts

The nursing home was abusive and neglectful. My grandfather was abused and neglected without professional care until I reached out to my aunt.

Memory care family member · 2025☆☆☆☆

The lobby staff are always welcoming and friendly. The nursing staff provides my mom with excellent care. The social worker, OT staff and business office keep the family well informed and up to date.

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

I had a very serious eye problem and needed to see my eye dr immediately. Granted I was in for my hip, I was told that I had to give 3 weeks notice to schedule transportation, pay $500+ to “hold” my bed.
