Key Review Excerpts

In her four months at Shawnee Gardens, she regained her appetite, gained weight, reestablished her ability to walk and even made friends (this was far beyond our expectations and even our hopes.)

Long-term resident's family · 2022★★★★

I have many photos of feces leaking out of her brief and dried on. I even spoke with the staff doctor and requested a barrier cream because her bottom was beat red on números occasions.

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

Not a single person helped any of memory care patients. They didn't even care I was there to check out their services. Three staffs were playing phone and chatting during the entire lunch.

This facility has a concerning pattern of 35 complaint-triggered deficiencies out of 65 total, indicating families have repeatedly filed reports about care issues.
