Staffing coverage can feel thin

Some residents and families raise concerns about staffing coverage.

A recurring complaint is that staffing can be short, which affects cleaning, attention, and overall follow-through.

Another reviewer mentions staff turnover and feels the remaining team is stretched by high-need residents.
