Staffing can feel inconsistent

While many reviews praise staff as attentive and caring, several also describe care problems tied to response time and availability. One reviewer said call button requests went unanswered and staff were slow to respond even when family was present. Others describe long delays for assistance and a need to push for evaluations, alongside accounts of too few caregivers covering busy halls or high-acuity needs.
