Overall Review of Home At Hearthstone

common 22 reviews mention this

Staff care is a mixed experience

Many residents and families describe staff who are attentive and caring.

A large share of reviewers say staff treat residents well, stay engaged, and help with day-to-day needs. Multiple reviews mention nurses being available when families ask questions or share concerns, and some describe staff showing up for activities and appointments. Others also call out staff in much harsher terms, including feeling unresponsive or treated disrespectfully, so the experience seems inconsistent across visits and needs.

caveat 11 reviews mention this

Neglect and slow help allegations

Several reviewers report care that felt delayed, negligent, or unresponsive.

Some negative reviews describe staff who were not attentive, delayed responding to falls, or slow to meet basic needs like toileting or warming food. Others say communication was lacking and that concerns were not addressed promptly. A few reviews also describe serious problems such as unsafe or inappropriate decision-making, which is a significant red flag for families considering placement.

common 9 reviews mention this

Cleanliness shows up often

Residents and families frequently mention cleanliness and well-kept rooms.

Many reviewers praise the facility for being clean, well maintained, and kept in good condition. Some describe their loved one’s room as always clean and mention the building atmosphere as comfortable. A minority of reviews contrast that by describing unclean conditions, odors, and concerns around routine hygiene and laundry, especially in memory-care contexts.

common 7 reviews mention this

Meals are often praised

Food quality comes up repeatedly in family reviews.

Several reviewers say meals are enjoyable, served hot, and better than what they’ve seen elsewhere. Families also mention day-to-day meal routines like having three meals and residents being satisfied with what they receive. At the same time, some reviews criticize food-handling and access to basics, like warming food or providing requested items, so dining quality may depend on timing and staff coverage.

Activities and events matter

Residents are described as having regular activities and events.

Multiple reviews highlight scheduled activities and community events, including family-included celebrations. Reviewers mention specific past events and also describe group activities such as games, movies, and planned participation during visits. A couple of reviewers tie these activities to caring support from the activity team, though other reviews raise concerns about consistent care that can affect participation.

common 4 reviews mention this

Memory care unit is mentioned

Memory care is explicitly discussed by multiple families.

Some families describe good support on the memory care side, including staff familiarity and responsiveness to questions and concerns. Others describe serious issues involving locked-unit care, including hygiene and help with daily needs. Together, these reviews suggest memory care experiences can vary noticeably depending on staffing and how needs are managed.
