Staffing and safety concerns surface

Some reviewers report serious concerns about staffing and care safety.

While many reviewers are positive about care, several reviews describe problems that go beyond dissatisfaction, including allegations of poor staffing and medication errors. Other negative accounts describe missed care needs, worsening conditions, or serious incidents involving falls and delayed hospital-level response. These reviews also include claims about communication breakdowns around medical information, contributing to a mixed overall picture.

Older facility needs renovation

Multiple reviewers say the facility looks older and could use improvements.

A few reviewers directly call out the building as older, saying it needs renovation or “TLC.” One review acknowledges the facility is older but still clean and well kept, suggesting maintenance quality doesn’t always translate into appearance or updates.
