Dining works for many, but varies
Meal support is a big part of daily life here, with food quality called out both ways.
A number of residents and families like that meals are provided and that staff can accommodate picky eaters at least some of the time. Several reviews describe the food as enjoyable or good enough, and others single out specific concerns like blandness, meals not being very desirable, or some items being fried. There are also mentions of dietary restrictions being handled, but that can come through as less flavorful to some diners.
