This facility has areas of concern that warrant careful consideration. We recommend asking the administrator directly: "How are you addressing recent staffing shortfalls?" These are not reasons to panic, but they are reasons to ask tough questions and visit in person.
The Slovene Home for the Aged is widely praised for its clean, modern, and aesthetically pleasing facility, with many families noting the high quality of the rehabilitation gym and the compassionate care provided during end-of-life stays. However, recent reviews highlight significant concerns regarding staffing levels, unprofessional conduct, and inconsistent communication, suggesting that while the physical environment is top-tier, operational consistency has declined in recent years.

Key Review Excerpts
“My 93-year old father spent a short stay in the skilled nursing wing of the Slovene Home after fracturing his hip and in every way the facility exceeded my expectations. Caring and competent staff, attractive facility (renovated and expanded in 2012), committed therapists with state of the art equipment, high quality food and engaging activities.”
“The facility looks like a palace. The staff treats everyone like a dementia patient and were rude if I questioned something. The therapy gym is beautiful but they contract and they didn't know how to treat me. The food is horrendous.”
“My mom spent time here and I couldn’t be happier. The nurse, Barica, was very kind and compassionate to my mom and our family. She aways found the time to answer our questions.”
