1 star is generous

The fact that this facility is allowed to operate is beyond comprehension. Under no circumstances should this assisted living facility be considered a safe or compassionate place. Residents are over medicated to the point there is conflicting medications at play. These are corpses not humans. The staff treat visitors with disrespect and hostility. One of the most unforgivable acts was barring a daughter from seeing her mother for months and then refusing her access again as her mother was nearing death. Residents h…

I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

This place was one of the most disturbing care facilities I have ever encountered, and it deserves serious scrutiny. The overall atmosphere felt less like a rehabilitation center and more like a warehouse where residents were kept sedated and subdued instead of supported with compassion. Many residents appeared heavily medicated, seemingly to make them easier to manage rather than to improve their quality of life. There was virtually no meaningful attempt at physical therapy or recovery. People who still had potent…

SCABIES! RUN!

My mother contracted a severe urinary tract infection while there. She also contracted SCABIES while there. As of 1/6/24 they do not have a current kitchen inspection. Severely understaffed. Management does not return messaged or emails. Very poor communication.

I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

My husband was a resident of Above & Beyond at the Knights for a little over a year, and it was a very good experience. The rooms were very generous, and my husband had a single room. Every room is the same size with its own bath. It's a very nice size. The help was extraordinary. I had great admiration for the work that they did. They were very responsive. They always had a doctor on-site who owned it and ran it. So she was there all the time. Any time there was anything, she would come in the middle of t…
