Some concerns about capability and communication

A small number of reviews raise concerns about dementia care capability or follow-through during outbreaks.

One reviewer says they felt the team was not prepared for dementia-related medical needs and describes a distressing experience involving missed signals near end of life. Another reviewer raises concerns about how outbreak-related updates are communicated and whether visitation guidance is followed consistently. These are the clearest negative themes in the reviews, alongside otherwise positive accounts of staff care.
