Administration and care limits
Some families report gaps in medication administration and limits on care coordination.
One reviewer describes inconsistency with administering eye drops under a self-administered drug program, framing it as a potential risk for residents who need strict adherence. Another points out that families may need to organize nurse/doctor support and that the community has limits on the care it can provide, which could require another move. A separate review raises a concern related to COVID vaccination timing and resident coverage, adding to worries about follow-through on individual needs.
