Cleanliness and facility upkeep are recurring points of criticism.

A number of reviews describe the building as old, dirty, or not adequately cleaned, and they specifically mention a lack of deep cleaning. Others complain about worn or tattered surroundings and general maintenance issues. Some accounts connect cleanliness problems to illness after a stay. Even when other aspects were praised, the overall physical condition and cleaning quality show up as a repeated concern.

caveat 7 reviews mention this

Staffing and call response can fail

Some families report slow responses, missed basics, or neglect.

Several reviews describe staffing shortfalls that led to delayed care and incomplete basic needs, like trouble getting help, late or missed medications, and limited bathing. Multiple comments mention slow responses to call lights or difficulties reaching someone by phone, even when help is urgently needed. There are also accounts of issues after falls or concerning medication handling, with reviewers saying they had to advocate repeatedly to get attention. Taken together, these reports point to breakdowns in responsiveness during higher-need moments.
