What this means for your family
While the facility historically maintained a strong reputation for cleanliness and professional staff, the recent report of theft and neglect is deeply concerning. Families should conduct an unannounced visit and ask specifically about security protocols for personal belongings and call-light response times during night shifts before making a decision.

15 reviews on Google“Mt Vernon Nursing receives high praise for its cleanliness and professional staff in older reviews, but a recent, highly critical review raises serious concerns regarding resident safety and theft. While many reviewers describe the environment as welcoming and caring, the stark contrast between the 2022 feedback and the 2026 report suggests a potential decline in oversight or quality of care.”

Key Review Excerpts
“The facility is clean, comfortable, and convenient. The staff is friendly, professional, knowledgable and compassionate.”
“DO NOT send your family here. They stole several things out of my grandmas room in the short time she was there. The night she arrived they placed her in a dark room with little lighting and shut the door on her and would not answer the call light”
“Very welcoming and caring staff members that are amazing with families and will definitely take great care of your loved ones!”
