Portland Place in Sandusky, OH

4.6
We picked them because, it was close to family. As far as care yes I would recommend BUT my dad got a check for [amount removed] then we were told he has to repay that back to the facility. That made no sense and it was shady. We paid it back but I don't think it was right

Normally a great facility with caring staff. Keeps them busy and active. Weekends and after hours they are sometimes short staffed which causes difficulties in getting in and out. The food is good and snacks are always available.
