My husband is well taken care of. The food is not bad there is two special to pick from. I have ate there so I know. The staff is friendly and are knowledgeable. Little short of staff would be my concern. Other wise I think it is the best nursing home to pick.

I just spent 20 days at Pathstone recovering after suffering a heart attack and a 9 day hospital stay. The nurses, staff, and administrators were all very kind and helpful plus I appreciated the daily help of the therapy department in “keeping me going”. Thanks all!

My grandma went here for therapy and got bed bugs. When trying to call and report this issue to them they did not answer the phone. Would give a ZERO STAR rating if it was an option.

Rotten food was recently served to a patient and that patient was taken by ambulance 🚑 to the hospital emergency room. If someone you care about goes there they will need a good outside advocate.

This place is under staffed or the staff disappear or are on their cell phones. Laundry is missing. Can't even take the green top off a strawberry for memory care patients. Staff didn't notify me properly when my mother died. They allowed my other siblings that were against me to be in the room. I notified last. Because of this the police had to come and touch and photograph my mother to make sure she died a natural death. For the price you pay, there's better care elsewhere. Also, note there's no renter's credit at non-profit nursing homes and the five stars are coming from employees. Poor experience with this place.
