What this means for your family

This facility is highly regarded for its specialized approach to dementia care and its ability to support residents with complex behavioral needs. However, given the recent report of neglect, we recommend that families conduct unannounced visits during weekends and evenings to verify staffing levels and quality of care firsthand.
