What this means for your family

While many families appreciate the clean, apartment-style living and the care provided, the facility has a history of serious safety and maintenance complaints. We strongly recommend visiting in person to observe the common areas and speaking with current residents to gauge the social environment, as recent reports suggest issues with elevator reliability and visitor experiences.

Key Review Excerpts

We can not say enough about how we appreciated the care the staff of Hopeton gave to our father over the last years of his life . Caring and love was shown by all who worked there. Food was excellent and his room was immaculate clean

Long-term resident's family · 2023★★★★★

The facility is well maintained. The Apts are nice and cozy and each has a private balcony. Perfect for senior citizens.

Visitor/Family member · 2023★★★★★

The worst place you could pup someone you love. I only gave it one star because you can't comment on zero. This place almost killed my mother. Left her laying on the floor after they gave her a sedative to calm her.
