Safety and care follow-through concerns

Some reviews raise serious concerns about day-to-day care follow-through.

While many reviews are positive, a small group describes breakdowns in basic care, including pest issues and hygiene concerns. Other negative reviews mention delayed or insufficient help (such as lights not being answered promptly) and medication support not matching what was described. There are also complaints about falls and about laundry being returned incorrectly. These issues appear in only a minority of reviews, but they are among the most serious criticisms.
