What this means for your family
While the facility is physically beautiful and offers excellent rehab and activity programs, there is a recurring pattern of serious neglect and slow response times that cannot be ignored. If you choose this facility, we strongly recommend frequent, unannounced visits to monitor your loved one's care and to ensure that call lights are being answered promptly.

Key Review Excerpts
“Call lights took over 40 minutes to be answered each time we used them. Most of the time, even after 40 minutes, we would have to look for a employee answer the call light.”
“I was so impressed at the beginning of my stay, the chef came to visit me to discuss any special dietery needs but also my food preferences, favorite meal, favorite beverages.”
“My big complaint is in the amount of aids on staff, at the price of 15,900 a month which is significantly higher than other places.”

Key Findings
Recent inspections have identified several areas for improvement, specifically regarding the proper storage of hazardous chemicals, maintaining accurate food labeling, and ensuring all medical and cleaning supplies are kept in their designated clean or soiled areas. Additionally, the facility must ensure all resident and employee tuberculosis screenings are properly documented in their records.

Multiple food items in the assisted living, memory care, and main kitchen areas were unlabeled with appropriate open dates.
One resident record lacked evidence of a tuberculosis screening performed within 12 months prior to admission.
Cross-contamination risk: Medical supplies, crafts, and briefs were stored in clean linen closets; metal chairs, tray tables, and brooms were stored in soiled linen closets.
Two employee records lacked evidence of tuberculosis screening within 10 days of hire.
Dishwasher sanitization records contained missing or blank entries for multiple dates in March, April, and May 2025, making it impossible to verify cleanliness.
Hazardous and toxic chemicals were stored in unlocked cabinets in the assisted living and memory care units, accessible to residents.
