Dining quality draws serious complaints
Dining quality is a recurring problem, with multiple reviewers describing meals as unappetizing.
A recurring theme is that meals fall short, with reviewers describing food as unappetizing, burned, or generally poor. One reviewer says medication and meals were delayed enough to affect care, while another calls out food as the low point compared with other parts of the stay. The community also lists restaurant-style dining and dietary options for special restrictions, but residents still report issues with what is served.
