Several residents and families describe staff as sweet, friendly, welcoming, and caring.

Call button and phone delays
Some residents report slow call responses.
A recurring complaint is that the call button can take hours to answer, and that messages may not be returned. One resident also contrasts negative responsiveness with another review that describes getting health updates and pictures, suggesting experiences vary by situation. Residents who rely on fast help may want to pay close attention to responsiveness during any trial visits.

Staffing can feel too thin
Some residents report staffing shortages during visits.
One review says the facility seems short staffed when they visit. Another describes staff as lazy and implies delays in basic assistance, which aligns with concerns that care may not always happen when residents need it. Because these comments are paired with both very positive staffing feedback and very negative reports, it appears staffing consistency may differ over time or shifts.
caveat5 reviews mention this
Bathing and rehab help vary
Help with daily care and therapy may be inconsistent.
Several reviews criticize the level or timing of hands-on assistance, including needing to beg for showers or bathing and reports of limited shower access. There are also concerns about therapy continuity, including a resident who says physical therapy stopped after a few days without explanation. In contrast, at least one review highlights an aide who was helpful, which suggests day-to-day experiences can depend heavily on individual caregivers and coverage.
caveat5 reviews mention this
Cleanliness and odors are mixed
Cleanliness and odors are a common concern.
Some reviews are positive, mentioning no foul smell on entry and describing residents as clean and well cared for. Others raise strong concerns about odors such as urine, substandard living conditions, and visible cleanliness problems like flies in the kitchen. There are also comments about beds not being fixed and the facility feeling messy, indicating that cleanliness may not be consistent.
