Some reviewers say the food was good or excellent, and at least one notes access to snacks at any time. Others describe food arriving cold when delivered to the room.

Multiple reviews point to staffing gaps that affect daily reliability, including being short staffed and leaving needs unmet. Several mention long waits after pressing call buttons, including waits of 30+ minutes, and one reviewer describes routine care being pushed to the next shift or next day. Another complaint describes no staff presence in the dining area during concerns, with related service failures.

Medication and care coordination issues

Reviews describe problems with medication handling and communication during care.

A number of reviews mention medication problems, such as medication being changed without clear examination, delays in pain medications, or medication administration issues. Others describe care being delivered differently than expected, like a swallow-related diet not matching what was indicated after testing. Across these accounts, families also mention breakdowns in communication among staff and delayed follow-through on routine orders.
