What this means for your family

While some family members report deeply touching emotional support from the staff, there is a highly serious allegation regarding medical ethics and emergency response. Families should conduct thorough due diligence and ask specific questions regarding the clinical qualifications of the leadership and their protocols for emergency medical situations.

Key Review Excerpts

My mom is your place, just came Tuesday and that night she had a rough night and was crying and one of employees came in and set with her and talked until she fell asleep. That meant the world to me.

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

Mother lives at assited living. They take very good care of her.

Long-term resident's family · 2020★★★★★

Not a place to take anyone you care about. Took my sister there and in 2 days she passed away. The director does not have any medical back ground and does not know the code of ethics. My sister was on full code and they did nothing to revive her.
