Many reviewers appreciate the attentive care provided, particularly in the memory care units, and commend staff members like Valerie and Mindy for their dedication.

There are also complaints about poor management, lack of communication, and inadequate care, particularly in the memory care units. Several reviewers report distressing experiences, including neglect, theft, and poor handling of medical needs, which in some cases led to severe health consequences for residents.

I am my sister's legal guardian and she has lived there several years. The staff turnover has been really bad. There were 2 executive directors there at first that were wonderful. But both left abs was replaced by Jessie. He is the worst director I've EVER encountered. And I speak from knowledge on both sides as I'm an RN with decades of experience in dealing with EDs. My sister has an increasingly time sensitive situation that I need to discuss with him. I have left him FIVE VM over FIVE weeks without a response. He even told my sister when she asked about him calling me that he knew he needed to. And that was over a week ago and before my last 2 VM. There are many who work there that also say he rarely follows thru on things he says he'll do. I can't believe he's still got a job there because there HAS to be others out there that can actually do that job description
