Concerns about safety and staffing

A small number of reviews raise serious concerns about care reliability.

While most reviews are positive, a few raise concerns that go beyond service preferences. One review says the memory care unit is understaffed and describes delayed help, along with problems tied to a fall-monitoring technology. Another reviewer simply reports the place is not safe. A separate review alleges an unprofessional work environment and questions operations after a wellness role resignation.
