Mixed feedback on building upkeep

A few reviewers report problems with the facility’s condition and cleanliness.

Some reviews say the building needs updating, and at least one reviewer also ties negative experiences to the age of the building. Another negative review goes further, describing strong concerns about dirtiness and odor. This contrasts with the more common praise for cleanliness, so experiences appear uneven depending on which area or level of care a resident was in.
