Concerns about safety and care fit

A couple of reviews express worries about safety follow-through and the right level of care.

One review warns families to confirm the appropriate level of care before moving in, describing concerns after an unwitnessed fall and a perceived lack of smooth handling. Another review reports a serious incident in the dining room and also criticizes communication and how family was supported afterward.
