“This review is to help prevent anyone from experiencing the tragedy that my family experienced at the hands of the Hearthstone Nursing Home. I would never recommend this place nor would I ever place anyone I love in their care again. Their staff, though they boast great care, are incompetent with alzheimer and dementia patients, leaving them to wander and fall throughout their poorly monitored fac…”

“This is a nursing home that not only does not care about their residents, they also threaten them and make them feel like trash. As if the residents dont have rights. They also treat the staff horribly. Constantly understaffed. Only making sure that when state comes thru that it looks like the have the help needed to take complete care of the residents. But in reality they do not. They will leave …”

“With the crazy situation our world is in and not being able to be with our dad/husband we thank God for some of the great staff at Hearthstone. Dawana, thank you so much for taking your time to help us Facetime with my dad. He can't hear or really understand what's happening and you take your time to restate things we say, explain things over and over... Can't say thank you enough.🥰”
