Care response times can be a problem
Some reviewers report long waits or missed response to calls.
A few reviews describe problems getting timely help, including waiting a long time when calling for nurses. Others mention issues like equipment not working or residents not being checked during a visit. These comments contrast with the many reviews that describe staff as helpful, but they are specific to communication and on-the-spot attention.
