Activity engagement is mixed

Activity involvement can vary, with some families reporting a lack of scheduled engagement.

Some reviewers describe seeing residents engaged in activities, including an activities director running groups and residents doing things on-site. But at least a couple of reviews describe the day-to-day activity schedule as unreliable, with fewer events happening than what’s posted.

Care consistency concerns appear

Some reviews raise concerns about care consistency and responsiveness to changing needs.

While most feedback is positive, two reviews describe serious concerns around staffing and follow-through.
