These current public-data fields deserve follow-up with the facility and the official Medicare record. They are not a clinical risk score or a substitute for an in-person assessment.
This facility has areas of concern that warrant careful consideration. The latest standard survey recorded 19 findings, above the MN average of 8.0. We recommend asking the administrator directly: "How are you addressing recent staffing shortfalls?" These are not reasons to panic, but they are reasons to ask tough questions and visit in person.
The Villas at the Cedars receives highly polarized reviews, with many families reporting severe neglect, poor communication, and hygiene issues, while others praise specific staff members for kindness. Recurring complaints focus on slow response times to call lights, medication errors, and a lack of cleanliness in both the facility and resident care. Families considering this facility should be aware of the significant inconsistency in the quality of care provided.

Key Review Excerpts
“Within the first few weeks, he was left alone in the bathroom and suffered a fall resulting in broken ribs and an elbow injury. Immediately after his fall, he was transitioned to a dining chair and left again for over 5 hours with no access to a call light/help.”
“My husband being non-ambulatory often waited over a 1/2 hour for his call light to be answered. The building is not well maintained, and areas are not clean.”
“My brother in law was there in hospice care for over two months and received compassionate and timely care during the entire time there. Grace Hospice provided excellent adjunct care.”
Total nursing hours are below the EveryPlace reference benchmark, though RN coverage meets its reference level. Ask how aides are staffed for daily tasks such as bathing and mobility.
Reference benchmarks (0.75 RN and 4.1 total nursing hours per resident/day) are comparison targets, not current federal minimum requirements.

Original nursing home datasets
EveryPlace is a research directory. Facility information is compiled from public sources — Medicare.gov, state licensing portals, Google Places, and publicly available street-level imagery. Some summaries, interpretations, suggested questions, and pricing research are AI-generated or AI-assisted and may contain errors or omit important context. Listings do not constitute endorsement, recommendation, or advertisement, and we do not accept payment for placement. Families should verify all details directly with the facility and the original sources linked above before making any care decisions. See our Research Policy for our editorial standards, correction process, and image-removal policy.
These are the 6 closest facilities in our data within 10 miles. Proximity does not mean they provide the same care type or have stronger quality signals, so compare each profile and verify services directly.
