After learning about multiple unsafe and unsanitary conditions experienced by my father dating back until July of last year, and after personally experiencing the unprofessional nature of staff and apathetic nature of administration, we have decided to seek services elsewhere.

DO NOT PUT YOUR LOVED ONE IN THIS PLACE. I’ve heard multiple comments from residents there about the terrible staffing, slow response to resident needs (toileting, etc.) and a lack of communication from staff to both families and residents.

Never was there but my nephew was there for about a week. He couldn’t stand it. Was moved to another nursing home in Northwood

This place is complete crap. I wouldn't even put my dog in there. Not one person there seems to care about the wellbeing of their occupants. They took very poor care of my relative and wouldn't listen to her needs. They bill you incorrectly and lose a lot of information you give them.

The most caring, professional, and concerned staff possible. My mother was a resident in the complex for 8 years (4 in assisted living , 4 in Nursing home). In both areas the service and care was remarkable. From the Administrator to every other staff member my mother's needs were always met. Much is to be said for a faith based center of care. During our mother's final days it was not unusual for staff members to come in while off duty to check on mom
