Residents and families report strong odor issues in hallways and rooms.
Multiple reviewers describe unpleasant, lingering smells, including urine and general stench, that made it hard to stay in the building. Some families also point to cleanliness problems like musty closet odors and unclean floors. A few other residents counter that the facility was clean and did not smell, so experiences are not consistent.
Several reviewers describe slow or missed help when residents need assistance.
A recurring concern in the reviews is that call lights, alarms, or requests for help were ignored or took a long time to receive attention. Families describe residents being left sitting for hours, toileting accidents going unaddressed, and basic needs not being met promptly. Some reviewers also describe safety issues linked to these delays, including falls and incidents where help arrived too late.
Many families describe staff as kind and attentive to residents.
Despite the negative reviews, several families say the staff treated their loved ones with kindness and respect. Positive accounts often mention staff communicating well, getting to know residents, and providing a supportive experience during transitions. A few reviewers also highlight specific moments of reassurance and comfort during difficult end-of-life periods.
Some residents are described as making meaningful progress with rehab therapy.
Two reviewers specifically connect the care to rehabilitation gains, including improved walking and increased independence after stroke-related stays. One also describes therapy as helpful for progress, while other parts of the review set show mixed outcomes. Overall, therapy experiences appear to vary by unit and situation.
Reviewers describe both cold or unappetizing meals and better dining experiences.
Several reviews raise concerns about meal quality and service, including cold dinners and food described as gross or disgusting. Other families report the food was fine or that residents were happy with what was served. A short-stay visitor also notes a dinner that was cold even though care was viewed positively overall.
