What this means for your family

While one reviewer highly recommends the staff's advocacy for residents, the recurring reports of severe odors and poor sanitation are significant red flags. If you consider this facility, you must personally inspect the cleanliness of the rooms and bathrooms and ask specifically about their protocols for hygiene and resident meal assistance.

Key Review Excerpts

the director & staff of this small facility are by far the most caring & involved advocates for the elderly & infirmed with whom I have ever dealt.

Experienced caregiver for multiple elderly parents · 2023★★★★

They let them sit and get bed sores and if they’re not awake they won’t wake them Up to eat meals so the employees won’t have to deal with the resident!

Family member/Reviewer · 2021☆☆☆☆

I asked 3 different staff for help to transfer a patient so I could install what I had brought. I asked 3 different staff for help and they could care less.
