I would give this nightmare a negative 5 if that were at all possible! After spending thousands of…read moredollars a month to secure care and safety for my mother-in-law, this place did not fulfill any of their promised expectations! They claim to be experts on dementia care, but regularly allowed my mother-in-law to be physically assaulted, often blaming her for their lack of supervision. Many times we would show up and she would be covered head to toe in her bodily fluids with staff completely unaware. They also on several occasions mixed up her medication's because of their poor recordkeeping. This place is horribly under staffed. Every time we tried to work with them, to address these issues, they made promises that they would not fulfill, and excuses as to why things were never their fault. After trying for several months, we realized that she was not safe there and have moved her out much to their somehow surprise. They really only care about the money! They have no idea how fortunate they are that they were dealing with my father-in-law and not me, because I would've had the police in their facility at least twice for the assaults against my mother-in-law, and I would've had an attorney on retainer suing this place for their obvious negligence! One of the worst experiences ever! If you care at all about your relative steer clear of this place!

In the recent past years this entire complex has turned negative in many ways. First, it was sold…read moreto "absentee" owner who make certain in every way they are 'out-of-touch' with their tenants. Secondly, management has had many different faces. People make promises and the next day they're gone. The have had a couple of absolutely "HORRIBLE" & "UNFRIENDLY" managers. But once again, the owners are "absentee" so they probably aren't even aware of how poorly the facility is being run. We met with one of the sales people in assisted living who was rather helpful and when we went back a couple of days later she too was gone! Then there's the "rehab". This section should be under investigation for 'senior abuse'! They are desperately understaffed therefore the patients very poorly cared for. There is NO actual attention given that would be considered 'rehab' because the little staff that they have is continuously preoccupied administering pharmaceuticals. If you are considering bringing your loved one here, don't be fooled by the outer condition of the buildings because it's what's inside that counts. And inside is not good.

I moved both of my parents into Allegro at the end of 2020 (during COVID)--it's been almost four…read moreyears later and when I look back it was one of the best decisions we ever made as a family. Not only is the facility clean and beautiful but every single person that works there is the best of the best...especially the nursing staff. They truly care and they truly put their heart into taking care of our loved ones. Both of my parents have stage 4 cancer along with other chronic conditions but they have thrived here because they get great care and all of their needs are met. The proximity to TGH is a blessing. Between the two of them, there are quite a few medical appointments -- but the Allegro driver takes care of transportation. There have been a few times that they needed around the clock care and/or emergency services and the team at Allegro took care of everything or made care plans -- the communication is always outstanding and transparent. It is wonderful to know that you can trust them. I can't begin to express how thankful I am for the peace of mind they have given me and I have knowing that there is a great community of caring staff, a great group of other residents and so many activities and outings. Because of them, I get to spend precious time with my parents... instead of trying to be their caregiver.
