Some families flag staffing and care gaps

A small number of reviewers raise serious concerns about care coverage and safety.

Two reviews describe situations where there did not seem to be enough help in common areas and families struggled to find staff during visits. Those same reviewers report safety-related issues and mention unpleasant odors at times. Overall, these are not the dominant themes, but they are clear enough to be a recurring caution for prospective families.

caveat 2 reviews mention this

Cost increases and “expensive” come up

Pricing is a concern, with both rate increases and sticker-shock mentioned.

One family says ownership tried to dramatically increase rates and credits facility management for working to minimize the impact. Another reviewer calls the respite stay expensive while noting it was more reasonable than alternatives they toured. With pricing spanning the full range shared for the community, these comments point to affordability as an important factor to discuss early.
