Overall Review of Spring Haven

caveat 3 reviews mention this

Memory care dignity concerns

Some memory care reviews describe lapses that affected daily dignity.

In memory care and hospice, one reviewer said their family member was left improperly dressed during visits, despite prior reassurances. Another family described dementia care as supportive and responsive, with issues addressed quickly. A separate reviewer said they were satisfied with care in memory care while still noting the need for room updates like blinds.

caveat 7 reviews mention this

Mixed responsiveness and staffing

Several reviews raise concerns about staffing levels and follow-through.

Some residents’ families described staffing strain, including reports of being short-staffed and overworked. Others said calls and requests went unanswered, including billing follow-up and delayed responses for urgent needs. A family also described neglect-related care concerns tied to staffing, while another reviewer later shared that management follow-up improved after they raised issues.

common 32 reviews mention this

Staff are repeatedly described as caring

Many residents and families describe the team as friendly, attentive, and kind.

Across multiple reviews, residents and visitors said staff members were warm, patient, and helpful—especially during transitions into assisted living or when family members lived far away. Several reviewers also praised specific front desk or administrative support, saying questions were answered and issues were handled. Even in reviews that criticized the overall operation, at least a few still singled out staff as sweet, attentive, or compassionate.

caveat 3 reviews mention this

Roach and pest complaints

A recurring negative theme involves pests and related cleanliness problems.

Some families reported roach infestations, including one reviewer saying the facility was infested with cockroaches. Another memory care review described roach and bed bug problems alongside reports of bites. Other residents described the facility as clean and fresh, but these pest complaints appear strongly enough to outweigh the positive cleanliness comments for some families.

common 4 reviews mention this

Dining quality is mixed

Dining is a frequent point of contrast between families.

Several reviewers described meals positively, including a lunch tour where food was enjoyed and a review that called dining room food very good. Others said the food was not good, citing limited variety and issues with diabetic meals. One memory care/hospice review referenced eating in a cafeteria setting as part of their experience, which they contrasted with concerns about care beyond food.

  • An elegant dining space with arranged tables and chairs, showcasing chandeliers and large windows for natural light.
  • A peaceful dining area with a view of the pool and patio through large windows.
  • An empty dining hall with neatly arranged tables and chairs, illuminated by chandeliers.

Grounds and lake views stand out

Reviews frequently point to the outdoor areas and lake views.

Multiple families and visitors described the property’s outdoor spaces and lake setting, including mentions of wooded areas for fresh air. Several reviewers also described the facility as welcoming with beautiful views, and others said it created a resort-like atmosphere. Reviews that were critical focused more on staffing, cleanliness, or management follow-up rather than the outdoor setting itself.

  • A scenic view of a wooden pier extending into a serene lake, flanked by gazebos under a bright blue sky with scattered clouds.
  • A peaceful lakeside view through a window with a plant on the sill.
