Review for Sarawood Assisted Living

It's a small assisted living home that takes care of the residents very well, laundry, assistance showering and many other included assistances. Friendly established staff. Not a lot of turnover.

Terrible facility

This place is horrible in every way imaginable. The building is deteriorating, the roof has a huge leak that’s causing a mold problem and has been neglected for almost a decade. Most of the staff is a joke, except for a CNA or two. The administration is more concerned with not having to work, themselves, that they have employed drug addicts who indulge while on the clock. The “air conditioning amenity” is nothing more than nasty ac’s that are never cleaned, stored in a moldy basement and then set back up each summer to make your loved ones sick. The CNA’s are the ones required to do the housekeeping on top of the fact that they’re the ones doing med rounds, so you can pretty much guess nothing ever gets cleaned and med errors occur often. The food is bought cheap and cooked terribly. (They say gluten free options, but that was just residents having to purchase their own gluten free items to be prepared). Without a doubt the worst place you could leave someone you care about. DON’T!!!!

Not happy

Not happy at all. They charge 3,000 to3,500 a month and they take the residents to Good Will to shop for clothing. The unground pool is not open or maintained and they only have a treadmill for work out equipment. When thinking about The money that these residents are paying each month, they should have so much more!

Was not impressed with their parking lot snow and ice not maintained. Due to the age of this facility , many things need attention. Not a place I would feel good about leaving my mom

Lovely! 28 residents, close to my house. The only problem is they do not assist with getting dressed. Feels very homey.
