Medication and staffing can be risky

Some residents and families report gaps in medication management and staffing consistency.

A recurring set of negative reviews raises concerns about medication delivery and documentation, with families describing uncertainty about whether treatment was given as ordered. Others mention extreme staffing shortages and resulting problems such as delayed responses, falls, and basic-care oversights.
