What this means for your family

While some families have experienced deep compassion and excellent communication during end-of-life care, recent feedback indicates a potential decline in staffing quality. When touring, we strongly recommend asking for current staff-to-resident ratios and requesting a clear explanation of billing policies to avoid the administrative frustrations reported by recent families.

Key Review Excerpts

They were excellent with him, and with all of us family. They always relayed information to me if there were changes and updates.

Long-term resident's family · 2017★★★★★

They even sat with my mother at the end. Excellent facility.

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

Never have enough staff to care for residents. Our family took care of our loved one and no one there even cared when loved one died.
