My sister and her husband bought into this Ponzi scheme a little over a year ago. That buy in was a total lie, they are in major financial trouble. Then to make matters worse…my sister’s husband was a patient in their memory care facility ( same site). He had multiple falls. He was a DNR, but they kept sending him to the hospital re dehydration, instead of contacting the hospice group to attending to him. No one seemed to remember his memory disease was terminal.They keep doing million dollar work ups . Their goal is to keep people alive as long as possible, the longer they stay alive the longer they get paid. Hospice means comfort care…This facility is a disgrace for the death and dying folks.

This is a wonderful community to enjoy your retirement years. We’ve been here three years and have not once looked back and wish we had not made the move. The friends we’ve made and variety of activities available make us wonder why we waited so long.

My sister was a resident of Kingswood, the care she received was done with passion and love. Never in my life have I been in a nursing facility that was so clean and every staff person was wonderful. I would never hesitate to suggest. Sending a loved one here they are the best.

I had a previous rehabilitation here and returned a second time as the first stay was a positive experience. Staff was patient kind considerate and had a genuine concern for my needs through recovery. I feel much safer returning home and while I hope not to need another stay I would return again if needed. I gave a short list of minor things they can improve upon but my overwhelming impression was that staff members had a vested interest in my care often acting as if I was their only patient. If you or a loved one needs skilled nursing I highly recommend Kingswood Health Center. The therapists also went above and beyond making the exercises a fun challenge which was so helpful.
