Nursing coverage is a mixed point
Some residents and families report limited medical staffing when they needed it most.
Several negative reviews describe waiting for medical personnel or not seeing nursing support during the early period after admission. Some reviewers also mention issues they felt were preventable, like medication-related problems, delayed attention when using call buttons, or concerns about basic monitoring.
