What families are saying

We’ve gathered and summarized real family reviews from across the internet for you. Contact a Seniorly representative for details.
The reviews present a mixed picture of a care facility, highlighting both negative and positive experiences. On the negative side, one reviewer strongly criticizes the facility, describing it as disorganized and poorly managed. They mention issues such as a dirty environment, inadequate care, and unfit staff, with a focus on profit over resident welfare. The food quality is described as horrible, and the heating system is inappropriately managed. The bathroom facilities are inadequate for resident needs, and there is a lack of sufficient staff, who reportedly suffer from low pay and exhaustion. The owner is perceived as manipulative, ensuring the facility appears well-run only during scheduled visits. Conversely, other reviews offer a more positive perspective. Alaya Care LLC is praised for its cleanliness, spacious rooms, and compassionate caregivers. The meals are nutritious and prepared onsite, and the health administrator is noted for being knowledgeable and accessible. The memory care unit is described as spacious and well-equipped, with dedicated activity and dining areas. The facility's small resident capacity is seen as beneficial, allowing for personalized care. However, there is mention of high staff turnover, possibly due to the pandemic. The owner is responsive to inquiries, although communication is primarily through her unless visiting in person. Overall, the reviews reflect a facility with significant variability in experiences, suggesting potential areas for improvement in management and staff conditions, while also recognizing strengths in care and facility amenities.
