Call response and medication timing
Several reviews describe delayed responses, medication timing issues, or disorganization.
A recurring concern is that help can take too long to arrive after a call button is pressed, with one reviewer describing waits of around 30 minutes. Others mention medication being given hours late, along with delays that make it harder to feel confident about safety and follow-through. Some families also describe social work and management communication as difficult or inconsistent, including concerns about whether requests were handled as promised. In multiple negative reviews, these issues are tied to disorganized care and stressful discharge or transitions.

Some reviews describe the building as run down, small, or overcrowded, and several mention cleanliness problems. There are also reports of concerns like head lice and a sub-par, dirty environment, which residents describe as impacting trust in care.

Dining quality is mixed
Dining gets mixed feedback, ranging from decent to disappointing.
