Cleanliness and odor are major complaints
Odor and cleanliness issues come up repeatedly in negative reviews.

A few connect these problems to a lack of basic attention, including reports of poor hygiene and soiled conditions. Even among otherwise mixed experiences, the cleanliness concerns are described as upsetting and hard to overlook.

Families report trouble reaching staff
Some families say they cannot reach staff or get timely follow-up.
A number of reviews describe phone calls going unanswered, with messages left and no return contact. Others say there is little access to updates, including not being able to get in touch with a loved one or the care team. Together, these complaints focus less on the intent to help and more on difficulty obtaining answers when families need them.
