My mother called me once to tell me she was denied her medicine and no one would help her with her phone. She died a few days later and no one knows what happened.

Long-term resident's family · 2022☆☆☆☆

Hunter Acres has consistent deficiencies across multiple surveys, with families filing complaint reports that led to findings about accident hazards and inadequate care. The facility repeatedly struggles with fire safety systems, medication management, and care planning, with the same sprinkler and cooking facility issues appearing in three consecutive surveys. While all deficiencies show planned correction dates, the recurring nature of safety and care concerns warrants careful consideration during any visit.
