Key Review Excerpts

My Mother was a resident of Goodwill for 7 years. Her care was excellent and the last 2 years she was basically bedridden. She never had one bed sore or any skin breakdown at all even up until the end.

Long-term resident's family · 2018★★★★★

From the moment he arrived, every single person treated him and me with so much kindness, compassion, and respect. The facility itself is always clean and well kept, but what truly stands out is the people.

Long-term resident's family · 2026★★★★★

My father-in-law was in Memory Care, and we visited him quite often, and he was very comfortable, even though he never wanted to be in such situation, but he couldn't take care of himself anymore, and we honored his wishes until we couldn't anymore.

The most recent 2025 survey revealed issues with care planning, medication management, safety hazards, and abuse protection protocols. While all deficiencies have correction dates indicating the facility addresses problems when identified, the recurring issues with care planning and medication safety across multiple years suggest ongoing operational challenges that families should discuss during visits.
