This place is terrible, they treat their patients poorly, it is not clean, the staffs over worked and understaffed but they blame the patients for the messes. They do not give the patients enough fluids to sustain themselves. They tell family to bring in extra things but they never give it to the patient.

Very unprofessional. The state came for valuation and they got fined and tagged on customer service, fire safety and residents rights. The woman in the office have rude behaviors they don’t do enough for there residents and staff members. Understaff , underpay and unappreciated.

The team at The Curtis Home are the best - dedicated, passionate and trusted individuals I have meet. The residents are treated to many therapies that are driven by the creative arts - movement, art, dance, music and love. Receptionists were polite and efficient, They helped with all questions and gave excellent directions. The complex is well kept and inviting. Definitely deserved a positive review!!

Excellent staff. From the moment you walk in and speak with receptionist, until you leave Curtis home is wonderful. I would truly recommend this home care.

This place is a joke. The management is horrible and no matter how much the staff tells management of issues it all gets swept under the rug. The only time anything gets done is if a serious issue happens than management will blame an employee that has brought up the issues prior to the situation. Some of the staff is caring but this company can never keep staff for more than a few months. If I were you I would look to place a loved one somewhere else.
