What this means for your family

Primrose of Midland offers a beautiful environment with highly engaging activities that many families appreciate. However, due to serious, recurring reports of neglect in the memory care wing and concerns regarding management's treatment of staff, we strongly advise families to conduct unannounced visits and speak directly with current staff about their workload before committing.

Key Review Excerpts

My grandmother was treated so poorly at the end of her stay at primrose... When we confronted the care team about the neglect (not changing her depends, not showering, bed sores, sleeping on a couch, etc) they used the exact words 'we can't make her'.

Memory care family member · 2022☆☆☆☆

I've watched them, but they're good to my folks that's most important. Thank you for all those that... they're overworked & underpaid especially since they have to do so much.

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

My parents moved to Primrose in the summer of 2019... In any group of people, there is a range. There are some truly spectacular folks on staff and some not quite as good.
