What this means for your family

While some families find comfort in the social activities and the admissions process, the recurring reports of severe medical neglect and unaddressed bedsores are alarming. If you choose this facility, you must implement a rigorous daily monitoring system for your loved one's physical condition and ensure they are being checked frequently during night and weekend shifts.

Families should exercise extreme caution due to multiple reports of severe medical neglect, including the development of stage three bedsores and unaddressed falls. While some long-term residents enjoy a social atmosphere and a friendly admissions process, there is a recurring pattern of inadequate staffing and poor care during evening and weekend shifts.

Key Review Excerpts

My mom lives in the senior living community here with the personalized assistance option and it is wonderful. She’s been here for 4 years and I couldn’t be more grateful for the staff.

Long-term resident's family · 2024★★★★★

My father developed bedsores on both feet and did not receive appropriate care for a sore on his buttocks and it became a true health risk to him.

Deceased resident's family · 2023☆☆☆☆

By the next day, Monday, they had lost the bottom portion of his dentures. The nurse seemed worried that day, but staff was in full denial by Tuesday. That night around 2am, he was found on the floor.
