The lack of effective management at this facility is astonishing. From the director to the two nurses, the staff clearly needs guidance. I am baffled as to how the State permits this place to continue operating.<br><br>Consider the misleading reviews listed here. Heather, the current director, gave a 5-star review. Jermain, the maintenance man, also awarded 5 stars. Paul, the facility salesman, was so impressed he gave 5 stars as well. Jaclyn, who works for the corporation, followed the same pattern with a 5-star review. This trend is evident and troubling. In my opinion, none of them seem to understand how to perform their duties with integrity.

We relocated my mom from Ohio Assisted Living to here for Memory Care and to be closer to her daughter. She just moved in on Monday November 7, 2025. Horrible - aides are telling us to get a private aide because there is not enough staff to take care of my mom. She has Alzheimer’s and they are putting her in her room and closing the door. Her fear is to be alone. She can’t find her way out. She walk with a walker but they move it away from her. I don’t know for sure but I think this a form of restraints and you need a physician’s order for that! Does anyone know of a better place? Administration is promising more than what staff can deliver. I’m in SHOCK. I’m only giving one star so I can write a review. Also are nanny cams allowed in resident room if everyone knows it is there and if not WHY NOT?
