caveat 1 reviews mention this

A serious outlier raises safety concerns

One review reports serious issues including pests and dangerous stairs.

A single review is sharply negative, describing cleanliness problems, a strong odor issue, infested conditions, and concerns about stair safety. Because this is only one account, it doesn’t reflect the overall pattern in the rest of the reviews. The community does list services like housekeeping and assistance-related care coordination, but this particular negative experience is still an important caution for prospective residents and families.
