What this means for your family

While the facility is physically impressive and clean, families should be cautious regarding the quality of daily nursing care. We strongly recommend that you visit during off-hours to observe staff responsiveness and ask specifically how they track and treat skin integrity for bedridden residents.

Key Review Excerpts

My mother who's 80 years young was checked in the facility round about Nov 2018 after having a major stroke that left her paralyzed on feeding tube. During this time frame my mother had 4 bed scores on separate occasions. Three out the four were stage 4.

Long-term resident's family · 2023☆☆☆☆

The facility was nice and clean with an official easy automated process of signing in... visiting Serenity was like entering into the lobby of a resort style atmosphere.

Visitor · 2023★★★★★

I have been waiting to hear from the eye doctor for over a year. Due to missed days of administering eye drops, her vision has declined. My mom hates it. She said some of the staff are impatient and are very rude to her.
