Key Review Excerpts

Ms. Latricia Parks, Business Office Manager, has been very patient and kind. She is competent and knowledgeable which made the process of placing my brother at Paradigm stress free for me.

Long-term resident's family · 2026★★★★★

The staff is kind, attentive, and professional. The facility is clean, and there are engaging activities that keep residents active and social. Communication is great—they always keep us updated.

Long-term resident's family · 2024★★★★★

My loved one was there less than 24 hours before being transferred to the hospital for negligence and potential assault. My mother in law was told by staff they could not help her get out of bed to go to the restroom because she did not have her OWN PERSONAL walker or wheelchair.
