Cleanliness is mixed but prominent
Cleanliness shows up in reviews as both a strength and a serious concern.
Some reviews praise the facility as clean, including reporting good smells on arrival and residents who look cared for. Others raise major cleanliness and condition concerns, describing soiled clothing or bedding, urine-related odors, and even visitors finding a resident in vomit. There are also complaints tied to resident hygiene and cleanliness of personal items. Because reports span both ends of the spectrum, it’s a theme worth discussing directly during a visit.
