Overall Review of Degas House Inn

common 24 reviews mention this

Staff communication and compassion stand out

Residents and families consistently describe staff as kind, compassionate, and responsive to concerns.

Across reviews, people praise the way caregivers show up for residents and for families—checking in, explaining what’s happening, and treating residents with patience. Multiple reviewers also mention management and front-line staff working through needs during transitions like rehab or moving into assisted living. Even in critical reviews, commenters often single out that some aides or nurses do care, while the bigger issues are usually described as operational.

common 16 reviews mention this

Clean, well-kept facility is noted

A clean, maintained environment is repeatedly mentioned by families and patients.

Many reviewers specifically call out cleanliness and a facility that feels kept up, alongside comments about rooms and common areas. Some also connect that to confidence in care. A smaller set of reviews describe cleanliness problems (including missing cleaning and neglected conditions), which are the main caveats raised around upkeep.

caveat 10 reviews mention this

Food quality is mixed

Food gets mixed feedback, with some residents praising it and others calling it poor.

Several families describe food positively, including comments that it’s good, decent, or served with quick help when requested. Others are much less satisfied, including one review that says meals were awful and another that describes the food as not being a good experience overall. Because both praise and strong complaints appear in the reviews, dining seems to be one of the more variable parts of the day-to-day experience.

caveat 6 reviews mention this

Medication timing and staffing draw complaints

Some reviews raise concerns about medication timing and staffing responsiveness at night.

In less positive reviews, commenters describe late medication, difficulty getting help after hours, and delays tied to call buttons and night coverage. A few reviews also mention wound-care or assistance issues alongside concerns about monitoring, which residents connect to staffing levels. At the same time, the community’s care services include medication management and supervision support, which is a reason families may expect help to be timely—those critical comments argue that expectation wasn’t always met.
