What this means for your family

While many families appreciate the active social environment and recent facility upgrades, the severe allegations regarding resident neglect and medical errors are deeply concerning. We strongly recommend conducting an unannounced visit and specifically asking management about their protocols for medical oversight and family communication during health crises.

Key Review Excerpts

This is the only assisted living in town, that takes Medicaid from day one, and gives you a beautiful private apartment, with a walk in shower, and kitchenette. The meals are very high quality.

Local Guide · 2024★★★★★

They have young staff that aren't trained properly, or care to follow basic rules and guidelines and frequently med errors. They have bed bugs and mice on multiple different floors.

Family member · 2023☆☆☆☆

The staff went above and beyond the call of duty. They treated my resident with kindness and respect. They were extremely efficient.
