Exclusive Interview Insights
Our team personally reached out and conducted an insightful interview with this community on Feb. 13, 2024. Here's what we learned:
About Our Facility
Our facility is a comprehensive care environment that serves as both a live-in care facility and a rehabilitation center. Catering to individuals who require constant care, our establishment functions similarly to a nursing home, focusing on providing skilled care and support to our residents.
Pet Policy
While our facility does not allow residents to keep pets on a permanent basis, we understand the importance of the bond between our residents and their pets. Therefore, visitors are permitted to bring pets into the facility for short visits, ensuring that residents can enjoy the comfort and companionship of their furry friends from time to time.
Transportation Services
To facilitate easy access to medical appointments, including dialysis, our facility provides transportation services. A dedicated driver is available to ensure that residents can reach their appointments safely and on time, offering peace of mind to both residents and their families.
Dining Experience
Our dining service is designed with a focus on dietary needs and health. While the dining experience may resemble a cafeteria style, residents have some options to choose from, ensuring that their meals are not only nutritious but also cater to their personal preferences. A dietician is involved in meal planning, especially for residents with specific dietary restrictions such as low sodium requirements.
Our Staff
The backbone of our facility is our dedicated staff, which includes Registered Nurses (RNs), Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs), and Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs). Additionally, we have an on-site nurse practitioner and visiting doctors to ensure comprehensive medical care and oversight for all residents.
Communication with Friends and Family
While currently, we do not have a dedicated website or Facebook page for sharing updates or activities, we understand the importance of communication between residents and their loved ones. Our facility encourages direct communication, and in response to the challenges posed by COVID-19, we have implemented systems to keep families informed about their loved ones' well-being.
Addressing Complaints
Our approach to handling complaints is centered around direct communication and immediate action. Residents are encouraged to voice any concerns or complaints directly to their nurse, aide, or the administrator. Our staff, including receptionists, are also prepared to assist in addressing concerns to ensure that all residents feel heard and supported.

Review Summary
The following is an AI generated summary of the reviews of the community from across the web.
Reviews of various senior living and rehabilitation facilities present a mixed picture, with experiences ranging from highly positive to deeply concerning. Some reviewers praised the politeness and helpfulness of nurses and aides, noting improvements in food quality over time and the professionalism of therapy staff. A few highlighted the cleanliness of the facilities and the caring nature of the staff, describing their stays as comfortable and the rehabilitation services as effective.
However, numerous reviews raised serious issues, including inadequate staffing, poor communication, and neglectful care. Concerns were voiced about residents not receiving proper medical attention, such as incorrect or missed medication and unapproved surgeries. Reports of unresponsive management, difficulty in contacting or visiting loved ones, and a lack of basic amenities like working phones or clean rooms were common. Some reviewers recounted distressing interactions with staff and other residents, including instances of verbal abuse and physical altercations.
Several reviewers criticized the facilities for a lack of engagement and rehabilitation activities for residents, with some noting a visible decline in their loved ones' conditions during their stay. Complaints about the quality of food, room maintenance, and overall cleanliness were also mentioned, alongside allegations of theft and mistreatment.
While some facilities were described as undergoing improvements and renovations under new management, the overall sentiment from many reviews suggests a need for significant changes in staff training, resident care, and facility management to ensure the safety and well-being of all residents.
