Understaffing concerns appear in reviews

Some reviews raise concerns about staffing levels and attention to residents.

While many comments highlight helpful staff, a couple of reviewers express concern that staffing is insufficient at times.

Some visitors find the sign-in and registration process too complicated.

A couple of reviews call out the guest sign-in process as clunky or too much, especially for older visitors.
