    Caring staff but dangerous neglect

    I experienced both caring staff and serious neglect. The building is clean, pleasant, and some caregivers (Alexis Boney especially) were compassionate and engaging, but Alzheimer's care was understaffed and many nurses were uncaring or incompetent. Management failed to provide consistent physician coverage, residents were left unattended or unturned, and my relative was found with dried food on his face and allowed to worsen - he developed MRSA, pneumonia, and ketoacidosis before we could get him out. Meals were mediocre, staff gossip and unprofessional leadership were common, and valuables felt at risk. Not worth the cost unless you can afford a private nurse; I recommend finding another facility.

    Summary review

    The reviews paint a strongly mixed picture of ComfortCare Nursing Center, with some families highly satisfied and others reporting serious concerns. On the positive side, multiple reviewers consistently praise the facility's cleanliness, attractive appearance, and outdoor areas such as a pleasant patio and yard. Several comments highlight individual staff members and nurses as compassionate, professional, and attentive; one nurse, Alexis Boney, is singled out as exceptional. Families also note that rooms and personal belongings are respected and preserved, and some residents receive meaningful engagement in activities, including programs for those with Alzheimer's. A number of reviewers describe the staff as friendly toward families and eager to make patients comfortable, and a few describe the home overall as phenomenal.

    However, a substantial set of reviews describe significant problems that raise concerns about consistency and safety of care. Multiple reports allege uncaring or incompetent nursing, neglect of basic care tasks such as bathing, turning, and feeding, and delayed or missed medical attention. One recurring management-level complaint is the facility's failure to secure full-time physicians, which families link to inadequate doctor attention. There are allegations that understaffing — especially for dementia and Alzheimer's care — leaves residents without sufficient supervision, and at least one reviewer reports a severe outcome: a resident left in poor condition with dried food on his face, subsequently developing progressive infections and metabolic complications (reported as MRSI, pneumonia, and ketoacidosis).

    Dining and property concerns appear as additional negative themes. Several reviewers call the meals mediocre and allege the chef takes advantage of situations. There are also reports that valuables may go missing. Combined with comments that the facility seems focused on money rather than resident welfare, these points contribute to a perception of institutional priorities misaligned with individualized care. Reports of unprofessional behavior, gossip among staff, and leadership problems — described as loud or harsh management, emotionally strained nurses, and a need for leadership training — further undermine confidence among some families.

    The pattern that emerges is one of inconsistency: while some shifts and individual staff members deliver excellent, compassionate care and families feel comfortable, other shifts or periods exhibit neglect, poor clinical oversight, and managerial shortcomings. This variability leads to polarized experiences, with some families recommending the facility and others advising to seek alternatives unless able to pay for private nursing. Because of the reports of serious medical consequences in at least one case and multiple accounts of missed care basics, prospective residents and families should weigh the positive environmental and individual-staff strengths against the documented risks.

    Recommendations for someone evaluating this facility would be to visit at different times of day, ask specific questions about physician coverage and staffing ratios (especially for memory care), request recent incident and infection-control records, and get references who have had long-term placements. If possible, identify the consistently praised caregivers (names like Alexis Boney) and ask about continuity of care. Families concerned about medical fragility should be cautious and consider alternatives or supplemental private nursing support, given several reviews that explicitly state the facility may be suitable only if a private nurse is hired due to inconsistent clinical oversight.
