Key Review Excerpts

The staff, the entire staff, are wonderful people. My dad enjoyed his experience even when he was really having a hard time. The LNP was very attentive and caught some major red flags when my Dad was having a difficult time.

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

The facility is very clean and staff members really care for their patients/residents; interacting with compassion, reassurance and lots of smiles. The staff pay great attention to details, communicating with family with any changes or needs that arise.

Family member · 2024★★★★★

My mother-in-law was here for a week before we moved her. This place started off great then they weren't. She was bedridden and couldn't get out bed to use the restroom. She had to wait an HOUR before someone came after she called for help.

Families have filed multiple complaint reports against The Laurels of Forest Glenn, particularly regarding accident prevention and safety supervision, which appears as a recurring problem across several surveys. The facility has also faced persistent issues with fire safety systems, electrical equipment, and quality oversight programs. While all deficiencies show correction dates, the repeated nature of safety concerns—especially the accident hazard violations appearing in both routine and complaint-driven inspections—suggests ongoing challenges that families should carefully evaluate during any visit.
