They are negligent and are the reason my mother is dead. Would not send my worst enemy here.

My great uncle is in this facility and the staff are loving. He feels right at home. The new Administration has really turned the place around.

Awful just pure awful please do not take your loved ones here this is by far the worst nursing home I’ve ever seen the condition. My uncle was in today after being in the hospital for three days was just atrocious. His bed was broken, side table broken, laying sideways in his bed naked. Blankets on the floor only after we got there, did they decide to start fixing him up and getting him dressed.

The WORST PLACE ON EARTH! If you enjoy your loved one’s naked and neglected under a thinly veiled comforter this is the place for you. We don’t have any more gowns, here let’s give you a mock toga from our bed sheets. This place is the epitome of red flag. No tv, no radio ,no life, as you lay flat in bed for hours on end. Forget to change your loved one’s solid diaper no problem we won’t change it either. Bathroom with an aromatic to make a porta potty jealous. And enjoy looking out a locked door like a cat for exercise from your room. Lastly Communication To reach a loved is like nobody understands how telecommunication work in 2025. Send a message in a bottle , I’m sure they’d receive it faster. This place aside from a few nice workers (2) should be stripped of whatever merit based care they off and boarded up. Thanks for letting my Father shrivel up and almost die for 3 weeks.

This facility is very clean and the staff is very happy to help. I have been impressed with Lake Haven site. The site has room for improvement as any site would. They are under staffed with nurses aides and floor nurses. I have had to search for them. I have a serious concern though. My mom has been a resident for less than 1 week and she has been admitted to the hospital again. I am not sure if something happened but her problem is abnormal. I am suspicious!
