Staff kindness comes through

Many reviewers describe caring, respectful staff and positive day-to-day interactions.

A large share of reviews highlight staff members as friendly, helpful, and professional, including nursing and aides. Multiple families say they felt supported and kept informed about care or status changes. Even some critical reviews acknowledge that certain individuals were good, while the overall service experience fell short.

caveat 31 reviews mention this

Call buttons and phone access frustrate

Residents and families report long waits for assistance and difficulty getting through by phone.

A repeating complaint is not being able to reach staff promptly when help is needed. Multiple reviewers describe call buttons taking much longer than expected, with some describing missed or delayed responses for toileting and safety needs. A few reviews also describe trouble getting the facility to answer the phone or return calls, which adds to the frustration during urgent situations.

caveat 17 reviews mention this

Cleanliness and odors are disputed

Cleanliness is not consistently experienced, with some reports of urine or feces odors.

Several reviews praise cleanliness, including comments about the facility smelling better than other places and not having a urine odor. Others report strong urine and feces smells, soiled diapers or bedding, and rooms left messy or not properly attended to. Reviews that are positive on cleanliness often contrast with those describing ongoing odor and hygiene problems.

caveat 27 reviews mention this

Understaffing affects care quality

Many reviews point to short staffing as a driver of neglected care.

Understaffing is a frequent theme, with reviewers describing too few nurses and aides to respond in time. Some families connect staffing gaps to delayed help, longer waits for toileting, or issues with medication and basic comfort. A few reviews acknowledge that some staff are doing their best, but describe the overall staffing levels as limiting what they can deliver.
