Staff is unbelievably inattentive
- Michael Kimball ★★★★★ January 30, 2026
This facility is well managed! All the staff were super welcoming. The place was clean and tidy. The residents looked comfortable and well taken care of. I'd highly recommend sending your loved one here.

They could really stand to up their bedsore game. Mom came home with a couple nasty ones. That being said, they did as good a job as anyone can with so many residents. The place is generally busy but mostly clean and the staff, however overwhelmed, is friendly and helpful as possible. It's good if you visit your loved one and stay updated. Bring your loved one home as soon as possible. It really is just a transitional place.

I spent a week at Beachwood during Christmas and was very impressed in every way with Beachwood. When my first roommate would not stop talking when I arrived late night, they quickly moved me to a room with a lovely roommate. The staff was always attentive, caring, and knowledgeable. The PT was excellent and even the food was good! I also had a big window with a view, which I realize not all rooms have.

Let me start by saying this facility is, in my opinion, the worst place anyone could ever send a vulnerable loved one. My husband entered this facility in 2023 after it was recommended for their so-called “wound care expertise,” and it turned out to be the biggest nightmare we could have imagined. 1. The facility is absolutely filthy. The TV room — where families are supposed to visit — is greasy, dirty, and unsanitary. Staff regularly come in and eat their lunch there, giving families no privacy, and then leave their trash and mess behind. 2. Safety is not a priority. Half of the call lights do NOT work. This was reported to the ombudsman’s office multiple times, yet nothing changed. 3. Dietary completely ignores patient health needs. My husband is not supposed to have dairy due to his medical condition, yet he was repeatedly served cheese items, ice cream, and other foods that he absolutely should not have been given. 4. Neglect and mishandling of patients. There were multiple incidents where my husband was brought back from appointments and left unattended. On one occasion, he was literally left to fall onto the floor. In another incident, he fell again and his roommates had to call for help — one of them had to get into his wheelchair and physically go to the nurses’ station because no one responded. 5. Abuse and lack of basic human compassion. I once witnessed a patient being given a shower with steam pouring out of the bathroom. The patient was yelling that the water was too hot, and the CNA had AirPods in. Instead of helping, she turned her music up and continued to ignore and abuse the patient. I will never forget that moment. 6. This facility is a nightmare for vulnerable people. Because of the neglect in this place, my husband nearly lost his foot. He developed bedsores so severe they made him septic, left him with permanent deformities, and caused long-term complications that he is still dealing with. Please, do yourself a favor: RUN away from this place. It is unsafe, unclean, unprofessional, and completely unfit to care for human beings. No family should ever have to experience what we went through here.
