What this means for your family

While the facility has a strong reputation for compassionate staff and excellent hospice coordination, recent reports of hygiene issues in memory care and significant rent hikes are concerning. We recommend scheduling a tour specifically of the memory care wing and asking for a clear breakdown of what care services are included in the monthly rent.

Key Review Excerpts

The coordination and communication between Green Acres and Hospice was wonderful. It really helped to take the burden off me and my family, given that we live almost 4

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

In the last 6 months, the cleanliness of the facilty has gone down. Grandma resides in the memory care unit and we pay extra for bathroom care. We have visited on multiple occasions to find feces on the floor and on the toliet.

Memory care family member · 2023☆☆☆☆

I’ve been a paramedic in the area for about 4 years. I always have noticed how well the staff treats residence.
