Care support is helpful, but staffing varies

Some families report that staffing levels can be short, affecting day-to-day care.

Complaints include short staffing, lack of enough team members to handle residents in a timely way, and situations where meal timing or scheduled programming can slip. One family also says they ultimately could not move in because the level of care needed went beyond what the community was able to provide.

Pandemic precautions raised concerns

One review flags concerns about infection-control practices during COVID.

One reviewer describes worry about safety practices during the pandemic, including how drivers handled masks and ventilation while transporting clients.

Reviewers sometimes mention the community as offering good value.

Several reviewers comment on pricing in a positive way, describing it as comparable and a good value for what they expected.
