Meals can be hit or miss

Dining earns both praise and complaints in reviews.

Several residents and family members say the meals are good, enjoyable, and sometimes note weight gain or variety as a positive. Others describe the dining as cafeteria-style and say it could be better. There are also direct complaints that residents are not fed well and that choices are limited, which is the main reason this theme lands as a caveat rather than a clear strength.
