Communication is sometimes uneven
A couple of reviews suggest communication could be more consistent.
While several reviews praise day-to-day updates and awareness, at least one family said communication needed improvement and that staff did not always seem fully aware of what was going on with residents. Another review praises communication skills and keeping loved ones updated when issues arise, which suggests experiences may vary by situation or shift.
