These current public-data fields deserve follow-up with the facility and the official Medicare record. They are not a clinical risk score or a substitute for an in-person assessment.
This facility has areas of concern that warrant careful consideration. Registered Nurse hours are 62% of the EveryPlace reference benchmark; ask how RN coverage is allocated across shifts. We recommend asking the administrator directly: "How are you addressing recent staffing shortfalls?" These are not reasons to panic, but they are reasons to ask tough questions and visit in person.
The Grove at the Lake presents a highly polarized experience for families, with praise for specific staff members like social workers and physical therapists contrasting sharply with reports of systemic neglect. While many families appreciate the successful rehabilitation outcomes and dedicated individual staff, others describe a facility plagued by chronic understaffing, poor hygiene, and unresponsive care. Potential families should be aware that experiences appear to vary significantly depending on the unit and the level of advocacy provided by loved ones.

Key Review Excerpts
“TIM SCHREINER, his physical therapist, has done an AMAZING job and has him walking!”
“The nurses on the fourth floor take such good care of my father who has dementia. They take time to redirect him and interact with him in the ways they can.”
“My friend was laying down flat on her back and vomiting and started choking, was finally able to spit some out but kept hitting her call light and 20 minutes later after calling a few times a someone finally came in to wipe her face !”
Both RN and total nursing hours are below the EveryPlace reference benchmarks. Ask the facility how it staffs each shift for current resident needs.
Reference benchmarks (0.75 RN and 4.1 total nursing hours per resident/day) are comparison targets, not current federal minimum requirements.

Original nursing home datasets
EveryPlace is a research directory. Facility information is compiled from public sources — Medicare.gov, state licensing portals, Google Places, and publicly available street-level imagery. Some summaries, interpretations, suggested questions, and pricing research are AI-generated or AI-assisted and may contain errors or omit important context. Listings do not constitute endorsement, recommendation, or advertisement, and we do not accept payment for placement. Families should verify all details directly with the facility and the original sources linked above before making any care decisions. See our Research Policy for our editorial standards, correction process, and image-removal policy.
These are the 6 closest facilities in our data within 10 miles. Proximity does not mean they provide the same care type or have stronger quality signals, so compare each profile and verify services directly.
