Simpson House INC has a strong overall Medicare rating. Public reviewers frequently mention: beautiful, historic, and well-maintained grounds and warm and welcoming independent living community. Review the component ratings and current source records before deciding.
Simpson House is a historic facility that receives high praise for its beautiful grounds, architectural charm, and the warmth of its independent living community. However, families of residents requiring higher levels of care frequently report significant issues with responsiveness, medication management, and staff communication, leading to a stark divide in experiences between independent residents and those in rehab or assisted care.

Key Review Excerpts
“The clinical staff were accessible and responded to calls and other inquiries promptly. They managed her medications and administered them when they were required.”
“I wouldn’t send my worst enemy here. I picked this place for my mom’s rehabilitation because it was supposed to be 5 star. My mother was transferred from the hospital and they didn’t have her medication.”
“The disconnect between the charm of Simpson House and the negative conduct of some employees is stark. Thankfully, there are many good-hearted staffers here. Still, please make courtesy toward ALL , standard operating procedure.”
