Some concerns about leadership
A small number of reviews raise serious concerns about staff treatment and professionalism.
While most reviews are strongly positive, a couple of reviews describe negative experiences with senior leadership and professionalism toward staff and visitors. Those same reviews also raise concerns that go beyond customer service, including serious issues related to resident safety and care approach.
