Understaffing drives serious complaints

Several reviews raise concerns about staffing and timely care.

Some reviews describe short staffing affecting basic needs, including delays around medication, help with hygiene, and access to support when problems come up. A few residents also report that there was no nurse coverage during certain times, and that issues were not addressed even after follow-up. One review also notes that sending a resident to the ER required permission from administration, which the reviewer felt limited timely care.
