Reviews for The Village at Broadview
Divided Experiences: Cottages vs Nursing
Broadview Center shows a stark divide in experiences. Some families praise the caring RN staff, cottage-style community atmosphere that fosters bonding among residents, and assistance with daily living activities for long-term residents.

She finally had a shower and a change of bedding on day 4, after numerous requests. It takes 5 to 10+ minu
This is skilled nursing, senior living, etc. This place is not too bad. The staff are generally hardworking, and polite. (The place to stay away from is called Washington Care center. That place is a zero star.)
I was there August 14, 2025. Walk in to the overwhelming smell of urine. Past the new construction front to the slumped over patients in wheelchairs not being engaged with anyone. Outside to the courtyards where no one has done a bit of gardening maintenance in ages and rickety tables and chairs haven’t been washed off. If you’re not scared off now walk to see how awful a “private room” is - it’s better in a prison here for sure. The reviews from others - how much time have you spent here? Wareh
When it became apparent that my older sister was not capable of living independently I and my brother went to work to find her a living situation that was suitable for her particular personality and care needs. After a certain amount of trial and error we found Broadview Village (aka Foss Village at the time). Transitioning from my sister's previous housing was made as easy as possible given the complexities of medicaid financing and her specific needs. The practical activities of daily living
