  A CNA short and Hispanic on woman on the second floor on first shift was very nasty and a thief that took my personal items from the bathroom!! It seems like when I try to report this to management nothing was done about it.. But everybody else was excellent including Maria and Pam also Dr Brunna and all the nurses! I will suggest to watch your personal items on first shift!

  I'm really feeling the good vibes at Arden Cars Center. The staff is friendly, and I've had the pleasure of participating in some of their events. The residents are happy, and I can see that the staff cares for them. Lots of new people and positive changes.

  This place needs to be closed down! The entire night shift staff last night neglected my mother in law. We had to call the ambulance bcuz her sugar was at 600. My mother in law is 82years old and she is very aware of her surroundings and knows who her grand children are and knows who iam, until last night. She was awake and didn’t know where she was. We called the ambulance and they put the machine on her and check her usage and it was at a 600. I will be filing a complaint on this place!! Very bad!!

  I visited today. I was able to reach everyone I wanted to speak to. My wife has been here for about six months. I brought her to this facility because my main concern was her safety. I feel very confident and safe that my wife is here. The care at Arden care center is good. The food appears to be good. I have no complaints from my wife.
