Safety and medication concerns recur
Some reviews raise serious concerns about safety checks and timely medication help.
A recurring negative theme is safety lapses, including falls and situations where families believe risk was not adequately managed. Multiple reviews also describe delays or refusals related to medications, including insulin and pain medication, along with staff not responding promptly to call lights. Other accounts describe residents being left unattended, call buttons answered only when convenient, and instances of missed or incomplete care needs. These complaints are strong enough in the reviews that several recommend avoiding the community.

Memory care support is praised
Residents in the Memory Care unit are sometimes described as receiving compassionate support.
Some families specifically describe compassionate care within Memory Care, including staff showing care “no matter their role.” One review describes end-of-life support with hospice partnership and comfort for the family. Another mentions a resident going to mass and staying busy during the day as part of their routine. Not every Memory Care experience was positive, but the positive accounts focus on attentiveness and keeping residents engaged.

Several reviews describe food positively, including better-than-expected meals during rehab and regular meals served hot with fresh salads. Others mention healthy portions and good variety at meals. On the other hand, some reviews complain about food being cold or about kitchen staffing leading to insufficient meals.

Activities and community engagement

Positive reviews highlight frequent activities such as movies, presentations, field trips, crafts, and entertainment from schools, churches, musicians, and speakers. Some mention resident routines that include mass and being kept busy throughout the day. There are also notes about events and volunteer participation, along with amenities that support getting out and staying engaged. Even when rooms are described as small, several reviewers emphasize the activity calendar as a key reason families felt comfortable.

Religion is central, for better or worse
Catholic identity comes up often, with residents and families describing it as both comforting and a point of conflict.
Several reviews frame the community’s Catholic ministry mindset as meaningful and part of why families feel confident about care. In one account, a resident’s day includes mass and ongoing engagement through spiritual routines. Other reviewers criticize that the focus on religion comes at the expense of patient needs, describing neglect as “all about religion.” This difference in perspective shows up clearly across reviews, even when staffing and care are discussed more broadly.

Elsewhere, the pricing information provided suggests studios and one-bedroom pricing sits below county and state levels, while two-bedroom pricing trends above county and above state. Overall, the cost experience may depend on the unit type someone compares and chooses.
