New management driving improvements
Multiple reviews point to better operations after new administration.
A cluster of reviews describes noticeable improvement in the facility’s look and overall feel, along with better care under newer administration and management. These comments suggest changes occurred over the past couple of months, not all at once. Other reviews still raise severe concerns, so improvements described by some reviewers are not universally reflected across all experiences.

Cleanliness and pest problems
Several reviews describe poor cleanliness, including pests and foul odors.
Some reviews describe unsanitary conditions with roaches and mice, along with unpleasant odors reported during visits. One review also mentions conditions such as mice and roaches during a family visit, reinforcing the consistency of the cleanliness complaint. Other negative reviews tie these problems to broader concerns about care quality and facility upkeep.

Staffing shortages affect care
Reviews mention being short-staffed, which can limit attention to residents.
Two reviews specifically call out staffing as a problem, including claims of being short-staffed. One review also connects short staffing to neglect-like outcomes, while another focuses on the staffing shortage and facility readiness. In contrast, some reviewers still describe helpful staff, so experiences appear mixed.
