Medication and care for complex needs
Some families question medication handling and care follow-through.
Several reviews describe serious concerns with medical management, including medication being given at times they felt were inappropriate, meds not being dispensed as needed, or being discontinued before discharge. Others report worsening health outcomes over short stays for residents with complex needs, including dehydration, bedsores, and problems that families felt were linked to missed basics like oral care and turning. One review also says the staff is nice but that there may not be enough good staff for higher-workload patients.

Activities may be limited
Not all residents seem to get consistent access to activities.
While some reviewers describe the facility as full of activity, at least a couple of families say their loved ones were not taken to activities or that activities were limited. One reviewer explains that a wheelchair user with oxygen could not participate as expected, and another says there were no activities beyond common spaces. Taken together, the reviews suggest activity access can vary based on mobility needs and staffing.
