What this means for your family
Homestead Village offers a high-quality, vibrant environment for independent living, but the quality of care significantly drops in the nursing and hospice wings. Families should conduct a thorough tour of the specific unit where their loved one will reside and ask pointed questions about communication protocols during medical emergencies and staffing ratios on weekends.

However, families report significant concerns regarding the quality of care in the nursing and hospice units, specifically citing issues with hygiene, communication, and responsiveness to medical needs. Potential residents should be aware that the facility is currently undergoing major renovations, which some visitors find disruptive.”

Key Review Excerpts
“My parents have been residents of Homestead Village for 12 years. The Homestead team jumped into action (on a Friday afternoon and through the weekend) to accommodate my parents.”
“But she got sick and had to nursing and that was awful the left her sit in wet diapers and they wouldnt help her with her meal. 2 weeks ago she went to the hospital with pneumonia and when they sent her back she couldn't shake it so they decided to put her in hospice and never notify the family”
“Independent Living Residents must Ask for the help they need. Be sure to learn what the options are for extra care when needed.”
