Key Review Excerpts

The quality of care at St Anthony Park Home has seriously diminished since it was sold to a multi-facility company. There are still some caring employees working there and doing their best to provide compassionate care but the overall quality of care has degraded to the point of neglect in some instances.

Long-term resident's family · 2025★★☆☆☆

My father stayed at St. Anthony Park Home for 25 days, and while I want to acknowledge that the nursing staff were compassionate, professional, and truly caring, there were several serious systemic failures that overshadowed his stay.

Rehab patient's family · 2026☆☆☆☆

Everything else was less than satisfactory. Blood draws were done at the dining table while eating with others. At one point she was wheeled back to her room and left sitting in the middle of the room without her walker close by.
