If you choose to tour, ask specifically about current nurse-to-patient ratios and how the facility ensures timely assistance with toileting and feeding, as these are the most frequently cited concerns.

Key Review Excerpts

The staff that we have met from Carol, Administrator to Melissa and Jake have been very supportive and made sure they took the time to orient us to the facility and daily routine. This put our family at ease.

Family member of new resident · 2024★★★★★

I have asked for food for my mother, they don't come. I ask for help to bring my mother to the bathroom, they don't come. My mother has fallen several times because she has to go to the bathroom.

Family member of resident · 2024☆☆☆☆

Visited my sister on 12/26/21, completely understaffed and rooms not clean. We had to feed my sister both lunch and dinner and take her to the restroom.
