Key Review Excerpts

His medications were completely messed up and received 4 times the dosage on one of his prescribed medications even after I met with them and told them it was incorrect.

Short-term rehab family member · 2024★★☆☆☆

We are extremely disappointed with our experience at Hubbard Hill Living Wisdom They misrepresented staffing ratios, resulting in inadequate care and attention for residents. Within just 18 months, the cost increased by an astonishing 38%.

Family member · 2024★★☆☆☆

My mother in law was a resident for six years and passed away Monday after battling dementia. Her care at Hubbard Hill was stellar.
