Residents and families describe major odor and cleanliness problems alongside a smaller set of positive cleanliness notes.
Several reviewers describe the facility as dirty, rundown, and foul-smelling, with complaints that include strong urine or feces odors and residentsā rooms not being properly kept. Others describe needed upkeep issues, like the building feeling very old or in need of repair. A smaller group of reviews counters this by saying the building looks and smells clean when they enter and that the facility is clean and quiet during their visits.

Staff care is frequently praised
Many reviewers say staff members are caring and professional, though some reviews strongly disagree.
A large number of positive reviews highlight professional, respectful, and caring staff, including nurses and CNAs, and note that staff encourage residents and communicate well. Several also describe specific supportive roles like administrators, social work, and activities. At the same time, other reviewers report concerns about staff responsiveness and basic care, describing disrespectful behavior, confusion about who is in charge, and problems getting help when needed.

Medication and emergency care worries
Some families raise serious concerns about medication handling and whether emergencies are handled promptly.
One reviewer describes an emergency situation where they believe staff did not recognize worsening symptoms quickly enough. Others report problems like refusing to call 911 and needing urgent escalation themselves, plus concerns about lost prescriptions or running out of pain medication. These critiques show up alongside more positive staff-caring experiences in the reviews, but the safety-related complaints are consistent enough to stand out.

Food quality and diet support vary
Dining experiences range from praise to concerns about meeting residentsā diet needs.
One family member says the food was great based on a residentās feedback, while another review highlights the dietary team and leadership and notes residents being offered choices. On the negative side, a reviewer specifically criticizes what a diabetic resident was served and questions whether the meal matched dietary needs. Together, the reviews suggest dining can be a point of contrast depending on the resident and situation.
