Review Summary
The following is an AI generated summary of the reviews of the community from across the web.
Reviews of the senior living facility present a mixed picture, with some expressing severe dissatisfaction and others noting positive experiences. Concerns include inadequate care, such as infrequent bathing, late medication delivery, and poor food quality, with one reviewer noting a family member's significant weight loss during their stay. Reports of unclean conditions, understaffing, and unresponsive administration were common among the negative reviews. Instances of neglect, such as residents being left unattended or in distress, were also mentioned.
On the other hand, some reviews highlighted satisfactory aspects of the facility, including clean rooms, professional and caring staff, and effective rehabilitation services. Positive experiences with the staff's attentiveness and the facility's cleanliness were noted, despite some criticisms of the facility's outdated appearance. Therapy services received praise for their quality and the positive impact on residents.
However, serious allegations of financial misconduct and deeply inadequate care leading to health deterioration were also raised. Some reviewers strongly advised against placing loved ones in the facility, describing it as a "death mill" and accusing it of prioritizing profit over patient care. In contrast, a few reviews described the facility as inviting and homey, with satisfactory food and attentive therapy services.
In summary, while there are instances of positive feedback regarding staff professionalism and rehabilitation services, the overwhelming number of reviews raise significant concerns about the quality of care, cleanliness, and overall management of the facility. Prospective residents and their families are advised to consider these reviews carefully.
