What this means for your family
While many families report a warm and caring environment, the serious allegation of neglect and slow response times is a critical red flag. When touring, we strongly recommend asking for specific protocols regarding call-light response times and how the facility handles resident falls and medical emergencies.

32 reviews on Google“Halstad Living Center receives predominantly positive feedback from visitors and family members who praise the friendly, caring staff and the welcoming atmosphere. However, there is a serious, detailed report of neglect and verbal abuse involving a resident's fall and lack of response to medical needs, which stands in stark contrast to the otherwise high ratings.”

Inspection History
Medicare Inspection History
3-year lookback · Medicare 2026
Halstad Living Center has shown recurring fire safety issues across all three surveys, with ongoing deficiencies in sprinkler systems, fire alarm maintenance, and fire drill procedures that persist despite corrections. The facility also had problems with infection control, medication management, and resident rights notification. While all deficiencies were reportedly corrected, the repeated fire safety violations across multiple years suggest systematic maintenance challenges that families should discuss during visits.
