Overall Review of Paintbrush Assisted Living

common 26 reviews mention this

Staff are consistently described as caring

Across many reviews, families describe consistent kindness, respect, and attentiveness from staff members.

common 10 reviews mention this

Facility feels clean and homey

Reviews frequently highlight a clean, well-kept facility with a lodge-like feel.

Residents and visitors often describe the building as clean, well maintained, and welcoming on arrival. Several reviews specifically call out the overall atmosphere and how it feels more like a home than a large facility. While most are positive about appearance, at least one review shifts to a more mixed view of meal quality rather than the physical space.

common 9 reviews mention this

Activities and events keep people busy

Activities and events are a frequent part of daily life for residents.

Reviews describe frequent programming that ranges from social events to resident-involved or group activities. Several mention live music, outings, and holiday-style family events, with families describing their loved ones as engaged. Pet-related access and outdoor spaces also show up as part of what people enjoy during visits.

caveat 3 reviews mention this

Communication problems after outreach

Some families report poor follow-up and delayed phone communication.

A few reviews describe situations where outreach didn’t lead to timely follow-up after a decision or during ongoing communication. One review mentions difficulty getting calls returned and an unavailable phone setup, while another says attempts to reach someone after a complaint didn’t result in a response. These comments are the main recurring issues alongside concerns about staffing.

caveat 3 reviews mention this

Understaffing and supervision concerns

Some residents’ families raise concerns about staffing levels and supervision.

While many reviews praise care and responsiveness, a small set raises serious worries about staffing coverage. These reviews describe instances of being understaffed, questions about clinical coverage, and one event where a resident was found outside without staff nearby. Together, the negative comments focus on whether there is enough support to respond safely.
