What this means for your family

The Reflections offers a beautiful, activity-rich environment that many families find comforting for their loved ones. However, given recent reports of high staff turnover and unprofessional nursing conduct, we strongly recommend asking management about their current staffing ratios and how they address family concerns regarding staff behavior.

The staff was always helpful, professional and cheerful. The facilities were clean, well kept up and sufficiently staffed to make me feel good about my Mother's safety.
