What this means for your family
While many families report a warm, home-like environment and a smooth admissions process, the recent reports of medication errors and difficulty locating staff during emergencies are critical red flags. We strongly recommend that you conduct an unannounced visit, specifically during evening or weekend hours, to observe staffing levels and response times firsthand before making a decision.

Key Review Excerpts
“My father lived at Homestead for 4-1/2 years and recently passed away there at the age of 100. I can't say enough about the compassionate and loving care he received from the excellent caregivers and other staff.”
“Dirty. Awful management. Unsafe care. No nursing staff -- only QMAPs. My Grandma was given the wrong meds three times. 911 came to get my GG and no staff could even be found.”
“The staff at Gardens Care went above and beyond to help my sister get moved in, in a very timely way. Beverly, the admissions person, not only got our assessment scheduled quickly, but she also helped my sister set up her room.”
