Key Review Excerpts

The staff are kind and helpful and have made the transition for my Mom as smooth as possible. Physical therapy staff are great. Any issues were resolved promptly.

Long-term resident's family · 2024★★★★

During my stay, three weeks, the staff was incredibly friendly and professional. They quickly eased any anxieties or fears that I had. The physical therapy that I received was through and effective.

Rehab patient · 2022★★★★★

The people in "supervisor" positions don't care about the residents. Complaints are not taken seriously, and those who complain get harassed, bullied, and intimidated.

Stonebrooke has significant ongoing problems with fire safety systems, nursing care quality, and resident protection that persist across multiple surveys spanning 2023-2025. The facility shows recurring issues with smoke detection systems, pressure ulcer prevention, infection control, and dementia care, with families filing complaints about potential abuse and neglect that triggered federal investigations. While all deficiencies show correction dates, the pattern of repeated violations in critical safety and care areas raises concerns about sustained compliance.
