What do recent reviews say?

Five-star reviews consistently name specific staff-Flora, Rosa, Kristine, Joan, Ceny-for going beyond standard care with genuine attention and respect. Recreation programming and recent facility improvements under new administration draw praise. However, one-star reviews from the past year allege systematic neglect, medication errors, missing supplies, pest infestations, and cases where patients fell or were mishandled. The gap between enthusiastic recent patient testimonies and detailed accounts of dangerous care failures over the same period raises serious questions about consistency and what visitors actually observe versus reported incidents.

A 2.4-star rating across 39 reviews reflects this divide: 23% five-star versus 64% one/two-star. Some reviewers credit facility improvements, yet recent complaints of unresponsive management and staff turnover persist. Families considering admission should insist on visiting unannounced, speaking directly to the Director of Nursing, and reviewing any state inspection records.
