Families considering Imperial Crest should exercise extreme caution due to widespread reports of severe patient neglect, including failure to provide basic hygiene, repositioning, and oral care. While one long-term resident's family praised the staff and activities in the past, recent reviews overwhelmingly describe a pattern of unprofessionalism, poor communication, and serious medical mismanagement.

Key Review Excerpts

My mother is changed and bathed as scheduled and more when requested. They have a big day room for the patients to enjoy the big screen TV along with games, bingo is my mom's favorite.

Long-term resident's family · 2021★★★★★

My husband was transferred here for subacute care, and it quickly became clear that he was not being properly cared for. We would sit with him for long periods of time, and no staff checked on him, repositioned him, or provided basic care like oral hygiene or suctioning.

Subacute care family member · 2025☆☆☆☆

If you care for your loved one don't send them here. My father was admitted into this facility after his heart attack for long term subacute care. My father arrived to the facility in stable condition and no complications at all, two days later he was back in the hospital.
