Your next step
You don't need to know everything. Start with these questions.
Homeland Center has a strong overall Medicare rating. Medicare reports an average of 0.67 registered-nurse hours per resident per day. Ask how coverage varies across shifts. Public Google reviews average 3.1 out of 5. Read both positive and critical feedback, and ask how concerns are handled. Review the component ratings and current source records before deciding.
Homeland Center receives highly polarized feedback, with some families praising the attentive nursing staff and clean environment, while others report severe neglect and unprofessional management. Concerns regarding patient hygiene, responsiveness, and a focus on profit over care are recurring themes in negative reviews. Prospective families should be aware of these conflicting experiences, as the quality of care appears inconsistent.

Key Review Excerpts
“The Entire staff from nursing, aides are very friendly, very helpful. So kind to my mother. They catch issues that i would never catch if she lived with me.”
“My dad spent his last 14 months living at Homeland. From the time he moved in, he was made to feel at home and comfortable. During his time there he never had anything negative to say about being there”
“They ignore doctors orders, can't even take time out to give a person a drink of water and are not trained in compassion nor common sense nor have the ability to treat people with decency and dignity.”
