What this means for your family

The facility is highly regarded for its physical environment and the dedication of its nursing staff. However, because recent reviews indicate potential issues with memory care staffing levels and leadership responsiveness, we recommend you specifically ask about current staff-to-resident ratios and the director's communication policy during your tour.

Key Review Excerpts

My mom lived at Fieldcrest for 5 years. She was well cared for and loved living at Fieldcrest. We couldn’t have asked for better care. The Nursing Staff and the caregivers were top notch.

Long-term resident's family · 2025★★★★★

The staff are great but the memory care wing seems understaffed, therefore reactive vs proactive in caregiving. Communication is best done through the nursing staff as the director does not respond to calls/inquiries.

Memory care family member · 2025☆☆☆☆

They were very accommodating about our need to push back move-in dates for her apartment because of her hospitalizations, and they coordinated with the medical staffs at the skill nursing facilities and hospital my mom was bouncing between.
