    Neglectful, unhygienic care and mismanagement

    I placed a loved one here and experienced ongoing neglect and mistreatment - missed/late meds, pills on the floor, flies, dirty rooms and linens, soiled diapers, missing personal items, and staff yelling at residents. Administration and corporate were unresponsive, staff turnover is high and overworked, and I saw rude, defensive behavior and safety risks (delayed transfers/discharges, possible theft). There are bright spots - an excellent therapy team, caring nurses/aides, and nice renovations - but overall poor management, unhygienic conditions, and disrespectful leadership make this place not recommendable.

    Summary review

    Overall sentiment in the reviews is highly mixed but leans strongly negative, with a large volume of serious allegations about neglect, unsafe conditions, and problematic management contrasted by pockets of very positive experiences—especially with therapy/rehab staff and some individual caregivers. Many reviewers describe systemic problems that affect safety and dignity of residents, while others report excellent hands-on clinical teams and community activities. This pattern suggests inconsistent quality of care and widely varying experiences depending on unit, shift, or specific staff on duty.

    Care quality and clinical safety are among the most frequent and serious concerns. Multiple reviews allege neglectful care including missed or late medications, medication theft, pills found on the floor, colostomy/dignity issues, bed sores, and inadequate incontinence care (dirty diapers, diaper shortages, exposed feces). Several accounts describe failure to follow dietary restrictions (notably diabetic diets), and some reviewers say physical therapy or needed services were not provided consistently. There are repeated claims that clinical escalation—such as timely hospital transfers—is delayed or denied, and discharge paperwork can be slow or mishandled. Taken together, these reports raise concerns about clinical oversight, medication management, and resident safety.

    Staff behavior, staffing levels, and culture are recurring themes. Many reviewers report rude, condescending, or outright abusive conduct by caregivers and leadership, including harassment by named staff, yelling at patients, threats to family members, and a generally hostile environment for residents and those who raise complaints. High staff turnover, short staffing, and overworked employees are frequently listed as contributors to poor care. More alarming are allegations of staff possibly being under the influence while on duty, medication theft, and nepotism in staffing decisions. Counterbalancing these criticisms, numerous reviews single out individual aides, nurses, and the therapy team as compassionate, competent, and dedicated—some reviewers describe the nursing staff as fabulous and praise prompt, knowledgeable care from specific clinicians. Additionally, the facility is noted in several reviews as providing a supportive learning environment for students with active mentorship and hands-on leadership.

    Facility cleanliness, maintenance, and safety hazards are another dominant theme. Many reviewers describe unsanitary conditions: flies in resident rooms, urine and other odors at entry, dirty sheets and clothing, sticky floors, overflowing trash, items left on heating elements, and general disrepair or “rundown” appearance. Several accounts mention missing linens, piled dirty diapers, pills on the floor, and personal items disappearing—conditions that indicate lapses in basic infection control and property security. A small subset of reviews reports renovated, clean, and spacious rooms and a pleasant dining area, suggesting that standards may vary between areas or have changed over time in some parts of the building.

    Dining, activities, and community life show conflicting reports. Many reviewers complain about poor food quality and failure to meet dietary needs, while others note specific positive food events (hamburgers and hot dogs at community gatherings) and praise the facility’s community activities—music, social events, and outreach like back-to-school backpack drives and petting zoos. Therapy and rehabilitation consistently receive positive mentions: several reviews say the rehab team is “awesome,” that care exceeded expectations, and that measurable improvements occurred under therapy. These positive experiences appear substantial but coexist with numerous complaints about lack of regular activities and inconsistent social engagement for residents.

    Management, communication, and corporate oversight receive extensive criticism. Families and staff describe poor responsiveness from the corporate office, defensive or threatening reactions by local leadership, and administrators who either overstep clinical roles or fail to address complaints. Allegations range from administrative unresponsiveness and broken promises to claims of illegal or criminal behavior and calls for closure. Communication breakdowns are reported frequently: unanswered calls at the front desk, hung-up phone calls with concerned family members, long waits during admissions, and poor coordination between departments. Some reviewers also express concern about potential HIPAA violations and investigators being stonewalled when raising serious concerns.

    Notable patterns and contradictions: the reviews contain both strong praise (especially for therapy, certain nurses, and special events) and severe, repeated accusations of neglect and unsafe conditions. This split suggests substantial variability in resident experience—some shifts, units, or teams may provide high-quality, compassionate care, while systemic issues, understaffing, or poor leadership allow dangerous lapses in other areas. The presence of specific, repeated allegations—missed/stolen medications, unsanitary rooms, abusive staff behavior, and misplacement/theft of personal items—are red flags that warrant inspection and verification by regulators, prospective families, and the facility itself.

    In summary, while there are tangible strengths—most notably an applauded therapy program, dedicated individual caregivers, and community engagement events—the aggregate review content raises serious and recurring concerns about clinical safety, sanitation, staff behavior, management responsiveness, and resident dignity. These issues are described as both widespread and severe in multiple reviews. Prospective residents and families should weigh the positive reports about therapy and specific staff against the volume and gravity of negative reports; they should seek current inspection reports, ask for staffing ratios, inquire about incident/medication error logs, and conduct in-person visits on multiple days and shifts to assess consistency of care before making placement decisions.
