Several reviewers criticize the quality of the meals, with some saying the food was āterribleā or not appealing.

Staffing and call response are concerns
Some reviewers report delays in answering calls and getting assistance.
A recurring theme in negative feedback is difficulty getting help when residents press call buttons, including reports that staff were busy or slow to respond. Some reviews also describe understaffing, particularly at night, and connect it to missed or delayed care. A few reviewers contrast that with positive experiences, but concerns about coverage show up often enough to stand out.
