Medicare shows an abuse citation on record. Read the linked source details, ask the administrator what corrective action was taken, and independently verify the facility’s current status before deciding.
Linden Grove Health Care Center presents a highly polarized environment where experiences range from excellent, compassionate care to reports of severe neglect and understaffing. While recent reviews from late 2025 suggest improvements in cleanliness and management, many families report critical issues including slow response times to call lights, poor hygiene, and medication management failures. Families considering this facility should conduct thorough, in-person visits and monitor their loved ones closely.

Key Review Excerpts
“The facility looks so much nicer and cleaner than before. You can tell there are a lot of new staff, and everyone has been professional and welcoming. The new administrator was incredibly helpful and really knows what he’s doing.”
“My grandmother has Dementia and fell and fx her shoulder. I will be the first to admit that sometimes she is “difficult“ but underneath o The dementia she is the most loving woman in the world! The staff there was so caring and took their time to work through any complaints that she had.”
“Not recommended!!! Our dad ended up with open bedsores within three weeks of being there. His biggest complaint was the food was always barely lukewarm, which they never corrected even after us (daughters) asking them to give him hot food several times.”
Both RN and total nursing hours are below the EveryPlace reference benchmarks. Ask the facility how it staffs each shift for current resident needs.
Reference benchmarks (0.75 RN and 4.1 total nursing hours per resident/day) are comparison targets, not current federal minimum requirements.

Some summaries, interpretations, suggested questions, and pricing research are AI-generated or AI-assisted and may contain errors or omit important context. Listings do not constitute endorsement, recommendation, or advertisement, and we do not accept payment for placement. Families should verify all details directly with the facility and the original sources linked above before making any care decisions.
