Layout may require extra walking
The building layout can be challenging for residents with limited mobility.
A recurring concern is that some rooms are far from the main areas, including the dining room and activities, which can make day-to-day movement difficult. Families mention situations where residents needed pushing to meals or experienced long walks due to the facilityâs spread across multiple levels. If mobility is a major factor, reviewers suggest paying close attention to where a room is located relative to the âhub.â
