Some reports cite staffing and care gaps

Some residents and families report serious issues with care follow-through.

While many comments are positive, a notable number describe breakdowns in day-to-day care. These include claims of being ignored when help is requested, medication delays, hygiene not being properly met, falls, infections after surgeries, and insufficient therapy. There are also reviewers who say their family’s experience declined enough to leave or request outside help.

Dementia safety details come up

Dementia-related safety and supervision are mentioned in several reviews.

Some reviewers raise concerns tied to dementia care, including reports about fall risk and supervision.
