Food quality draws strong reactions

Food is frequently criticized, even when other aspects of care earn praise.

Several residents and families report the meals were unappetizing or served in a way they felt was unsafe or low quality, including concerns about microwave-preheated food and resulting weight loss. Other reviews balance that out by saying the food was enjoyable and prepared well. The contrast suggests dining experience may depend on the unit or timing.
