A reviewer said they sent their family member there, who loved everything about the place, with staff described as amazing and welcoming and a strong 10/10 recommendation to send loved ones there. Another reviewer noted that staff are helpful and respond quickly to questions and concerns, and that they feel confident in the care provided.
The staff fail to change residents' briefs, causing sores. The facility is extremely short-staffed. The day shift never checked on the resident; they would simply note she was breathing and leave. Medications calls go unanswered and hospice cannot reach the staff. Cleaning is not thorough; dogs roam the building and drink from kitchen dishes. Fire alarms occurred but staff did not help handicapped residents evacuate. Rooms and hallways smell like urine; laundry is not put away and garbage is not taken out. Some residents do not receive showers for weeks. The manager is described as lacking basic common sense. Do not send loved ones there (repeated warnings from multiple reviews).A collective set of experiences paints a troubling picture of care in what seems to be a family-run setting that handles hospice and long-term residents. Several accounts describe a pattern of neglect and a culture of covering for one another rather than prioritizing residents' safety and comfort. Families recount moments when the day-to-day routines that should exist in a hospice-focused or elderly-care environment were largely absent, and when accountability seemed elusive. One reviewer described a scenario where the day shift never checked on a resident, instead leaving food on a stove for someone else to feed, and when hospice tried to reach staff about medications, no one answered the phone. The manager allegedly minimized the issue by telling another family member that the staff never came in to check on their loved one, even as the resident's condition was reportedly deteriorating. The impression left is of a home where responsibility feels outsourced to family members, and where critical checks and timely communication were not reliably happening.
From another perspective, the facility is described as a place where basic hygiene and dignity routinely take a backseat. A former resident stayed there for 2-3 years before passing away, and it is alleged that staff did not change residents' briefs regularly, reportedly allowing pressure sores to form. The critique goes further to say staff would sit in an office and talk rather than attend to residents, with one worker even shown not wearing shoes. Horrifying anecdotes include dogs roaming the building, drinking from kitchen dishes, and cleaning times described as "not very thorough." The review emphasizes a lack of attention to residents' personal belongings and needs, and a sense that the staff-to-resident interactions were insufficient, with ongoing claims of extreme understaffing and minimal oversight. The overall tone is that residents were left largely unattended, raising questions about safety and dignity.
There are additional accounts that amplify the sense of systemic neglect. A number of reviewers warn others not to send loved ones to this facility, citing a persistent smell of urine, shortcuts taken by staff, and not enough personnel to meet residents' needs. The claims extend to situations where some residents did not receive regular showers for weeks, and where staff turnover was so high that continuity of care was compromised. There are alarming notes about residents wandering away from a locked facility, with no apparent follow-up or supervision to stop them from leaving. The combination of understaffing, insufficient care routines, and a perceived lack of accountability contributes to a perception that safety and well-being are not consistently prioritized.
Another troubling thread centers on specific incidents that allegedly endangered residents. One reviewer claimed their family member, who has dementia and was experiencing stroke-like symptoms, was sent to the ER in a taxi by staff, a situation described as acute and mishandled. Additional complaints include the failure to manage laundry and garbage properly, rooms that were not cleaned regularly, and hallways and rooms that reportedly smelled like urine. The manager, in particular, is described as lacking common sense, with other staff described as friendly but overwhelmed by insufficient staffing and high demand. Taken together, these episodes feed a worry that critical health needs - particularly for residents with dementia or hospice requirements - were not being met in a timely or thorough manner.
Amidst the negative narratives, a contrasting note appears in one review: a staff member described as helpful who responds quickly to questions and concerns, leaving them feeling confident about the care provided. This single perspective hints at real variability in experiences, suggesting that some residents or families may encounter a more supportive and attentive team, even within the same facility. The presence of at least one optimistic account implies that outcomes may be uneven and that there is not universal agreement on the quality of care.
Overall, the collected impressions suggest a facility plagued by understaffing and inconsistent care practices, with serious concerns about oversight, accountability, and safety. The recurring themes include neglect of basic daily needs (hygiene, showers, incontinence care), inadequate rounds and checks for residents - especially those who are elderly or have cognitive impairment - and insufficient communication with families and with hospice services. The mix of outraged, cautionary, and occasionally favorable feedback points to a complex environment where experiences depend heavily on who is staffing at any given time and how well management enforces standards.
For families considering care at this type facility, the takeaway is clear: ask direct, pointed questions about staffing levels, shift handoffs, rounds, and daily care routines. Inquire about how emergencies are handled, how often residents' rooms and bathrooms are cleaned, and what accountability measures are in place for missed medications or missed medical checks. It may also be wise to request a tour focused on observing daily care routines, talk to multiple staff members about typical shifts, and verify how the facility communicates with families and with hospice services. If possible, review incident reports or quality assurance records and seek corroboration from current residents or other families. The goal should be to ensure that every resident is treated with dignity, safety, and the attentive care that hospice and long-term residents deserve.
