What this means for your family

Green Valley Care Center is frequently praised for its effective rehab services and kind staff. However, because multiple families have reported serious concerns regarding neglect and staffing in the memory care unit, we strongly advise you to visit during off-hours and specifically observe the memory care wing before making a decision.

Key Review Excerpts

The nursing staff has not just treated my mother ‘s medical needs. They have talked to her and cared for her as if she were their own family member.

Family member · 2023★★★★★

My mother was not given that, but I don't souly blame Green Valley for that. I also blame the hospice company my mother was through.

Family member · 2023★★☆☆☆

The food is not monitored by a dietitian! I am a diabetic, and I have gotten too many carbs as a meal in my room. That means that my blood sugar goes higher and I have to have more insulin!
