Kauhale of Otsego receives high praise from many families for its warm, home-like atmosphere and staff who treat residents like family. However, there are serious, conflicting reports regarding safety protocols, specifically concerning resident elopement and medical care management. Families should weigh the positive community environment against these critical safety concerns.

Key Review Excerpts

My Dad was a resident there for about 8 months before he passed away. I had a positive experience with a lot of the staff and I felt like he was well taken care of. Any issues I had were heard and dealt with in a swift manner.

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

My friends mom has exit a window twice there are no alarms and the windows are not locked tonight they put her out sent her to borgess when transport brought her back they would not answer the door and let her in even thou her brother payed for two months.

Friend of resident's family · 2025☆☆☆☆

Huge turnover in staff creates huge gaps in care. A complete Cluster... regarding simple medical services. Pulling oxygen from one resident to give to another. Hair raising stuff!
