Clean building and odor control
Multiple reviewers point to cleanliness and limited odor in the facility.
Many residentsâ families describe the building as clean, well kept, and typically free from unpleasant smells. Reviews also mention fresh-smelling spaces and maintained grounds with calming outdoor features. A smaller set of comments, however, raises concerns about heavy urine odor and pest issues, which conflicts with the overall cleanliness praise.

Care and operations draw criticism
Some reviews report serious lapses in support, professionalism, or facility conditions.
A few reviewers describe operational problems such as lack of assistance on a shift, unprofessional or threatening interactions, or concerns about documentation and procedure. Others mention facility-condition issues, including claims about bed bugs and strong odor, which stand in contrast to the many cleanliness and care-positive comments. Because these concerns are direct and severe, itâs worth taking them seriously and asking questions during a visit.
