Staff attention and kindness are among the most consistent compliments.

Several reviews describe residents needing to call repeatedly, track timing themselves, or waiting for help for breathing treatments or inhalers. Other accounts describe delays tied to serious symptoms, leading families to seek emergency care.

Cleanliness and bugs raise alarms

Some reviews criticize cleanliness and report pest or hygiene issues.

While many residents mention a clean building and well-maintained rooms, a set of reviews raises serious concerns about cleanliness.
