Care issues and neglect concerns

Several reviews raise serious concerns about care timeliness and neglect.

A group of reviewers describe experiences they viewed as neglectful, including residents left in soiled clothing and linens. Others cite problems with medications being delivered late and with bathroom assistance taking a long time. Additional negative reviews mention serious skin and infection issues and one reviewer attributes harm to incorrect food.

caveat 2 reviews mention this

Cost comes up on both sides

Pricing is mentioned both as affordable and as too high for the care received.

One review says the community’s price was something the family could afford, which frames cost as manageable for them. In contrast, another reviewer calls out the monthly cost while also describing poor conditions, implying value concerns. Because these comments conflict, cost appears to depend on the reviewer’s experience.
