Call lights and responsiveness disappoint
Multiple reviewers report slow or missed responses when help is requested through call lights.
Several reviews describe call lights going unanswered for long periods, with staff arriving late or only after repeated reminders. Some families also mention difficulty getting in touch with the right person by phone, and limited communication once concerns are raised. Others contrast this with moments when staff do respond promptly, suggesting the experience may depend on coverage at the time.

Concerns about medical neglect
A recurring complaint is delayed or inadequate medical care, including medication timing and follow-through.
Many of the most negative reviews connect poor outcomes to what they describe as delayed emergency action, missed assessments, and problems with wound or infection-related care. Several also describe pain or medication not being given on time, and families feeling forced to advocate constantly to get attention. A smaller number of reviewers say the care they saw was appropriate and that treatment and therapy helped residents stabilize or improve.

Food gets both praise and complaints
Reviews include both compliments about meals and complaints about food quality.
Some reviewers praise meals and describe the food as enjoyable or surprisingly good. Others report food that is barely edible, served in a way they felt was low quality, or that dietary needs weren’t being followed as expected. Taken together, the dining experience appears uneven depending on what residents are served and how their diets are handled.
common6 reviews mention this
Short-term rehab and activities
Reviews mention short rehab stays and activities, including an outdoor courtyard and scheduled events.
Several reviewers discuss rehabilitation stays that are described as short-term, and they also comment on activities provided during the visit or stay.
