While daytime staff gets credit in reviews, at least one resident/family describes nights and weekends as understaffed, with more things going wrong during those periods. Another review mentions that laundry and other services can be sporadic. If overnight or weekend support is a priority, these reviews suggest confirming coverage expectations in advance.
