Care responsiveness and staffing raise concerns
Some reviewers report delays and staffing-related gaps in support.
A recurring concern in the reviews is that help can be slow when residents use the call system, with multiple mentions of long waits for assistance. Some reviews describe residents left in hallways or delayed support with toileting, bathing, or getting into bed, and others attribute problems to being short staffed. There are also reports that staff do not always respond appropriately to medical requests, which compounds the frustration when families are trying to advocate for timely care.
caveat6 reviews mention this
Serious medical neglect concerns appear
A smaller set of reviews describe severe lapses in medical care.
While many families praise nursing and wound-related attention, multiple negative reviews describe serious outcomes they attribute to neglect or inadequate treatment. Comments include bedsores and wounds, missed or delayed respiratory help, and cases where families say medical needs were not addressed promptly. These reviews also describe poor communication with families and difficulty getting timely support, which are important caveats for anyone comparing facilities.
