    Looks homey unsafe for care

    I chose this place for its homey, country feel - clean rooms, pretty sheets, fresh eggs, homemade meals, friendly dogs and chickens, and staff who seemed genuinely involved. For a while I felt reassured, but then things went very wrong: they abruptly sent my loved one to the hospital, refused to let them return or bring personal belongings, delayed pain management, and proved unequipped for dementia care (hospice had to step in). They pressured a doctor about low-dose Seroquel, moved rooms multiple times, and the monthly fee jumped to $4,000 with no refund for three weeks. Lovely environment and good food, but unsafe and unreliable for complex care - I cannot recommend it.
