Gabriel I
July 2025
Our family was misguided and were left deeply disappointed by this facility that misrepresented their capabilities. Once they took him it turned out to be the opposite of what they sold. Their sales do not have educational backgrounds in health care. In the case of our Father, we were transparent about his Dementia and unsure what the proper place was for him. They assured us through their evaluations, that they were familiar with his dementia and symptoms and that was the place for him. They went further to say that they were building out a memory care unit which he would be perfect for. He never received the services they offered, which were PT, OT, Speech and Psych. He only received PT on a sporadic basis. They mismanaged his Meds for his first two months. They missed hygiene appointments and were late taking him to meals. They had bed bugs and he suffered several injuries and hospitalizations. Thankfully through the help of a specialist we were able to get him out in time.
