Key Review Excerpts

I love the staff! So sweet. Also, I find their philosophy to be in line with what I would want - this is their residents' home - they get to have snacks and live like they would at their house - just with more support.

Local Guide · 2022★★★★★

My father was a resident in SRMNH and my sister and I were so pleased with his care. He was a very difficult person to deal with but staff was able to meet his needs and he was very attached to several.

Long-term resident's family · 2019★★★★★

Multiple times we have gone to visit loved ones and rooms were nasty(food in beds, garbage and dirty utensils/napkins in drawers,nasty sinks, etc.), and feet in poor conditions(Sores, dead skin, dirt between toes)despite paying for a podiatrist...

Families have filed multiple complaints triggering inspections, including recent concerns about resident protection and rights violations in 2024. The facility shows recurring problems with resident assessment and care planning, fire safety systems, and abuse prevention across all four surveys. While all deficiencies have correction dates, the pattern of repeated issues in core care areas suggests ongoing operational challenges families should investigate further.
