What this means for your family

Given the consistent and serious reports of bed bug infestations and poor communication, we strongly advise families to conduct a thorough, unannounced tour and ask directly about the facility's pest control logs. While some reviewers praised the physical updates, the recurring safety and hygiene concerns reported by multiple families are significant red flags that warrant caution.

Key Review Excerpts

Took a family member home recently for holidays. They failed to inform us about the bed bug infestation inside the facility. Now because of that neglect, our house is completely infested with bed bugs.

Family member of resident · 2026☆☆☆☆

Barest of care, no call when loved one goes to hospital, sometimes are out of meds, rooms/sheets are filthy, phone calls to director and staff go unreturned.

Family member of resident · 2025☆☆☆☆

I have called here and have been left on hold for over an hour, numerous times. If you truly love your ppl this is NOT where you want to see them.
