What this means for your family

While the facility offers engaging activities and a well-maintained environment, the recent reports of understaffing are a serious concern that warrants direct questioning. When touring, we strongly recommend asking the administration specifically how they handle staffing ratios during peak hours and weekends to ensure your loved one's needs will be met consistently.

“New Homestead receives praise for its active daily programming and supportive administration, with some visitors noting the facility is well-maintained and offers a helpful continuum of care. However, recent feedback from 2025 raises significant concerns regarding staffing levels and the ability to provide adequate patient care. Families should be aware of the stark contrast between the positive administrative feedback and the critical reports of understaffing.”
