Staff care is the main theme

Many reviewers describe attentive, caring staff focused on residents.

A large share of residents and families say the staff are kind, friendly, and responsive, and that residents are treated like people rather than just patients.

Staffing levels are a concern

Some reviewers report staffing is too limited for needs.

Alongside praise, several negative reviews describe not enough staff or a reliance on rotating help, with residents and families saying care can be delayed as a result. These complaints include examples of long waits and concerns that residents weren’t receiving attention. On the other hand, other reviews credit nurses and therapists with being attentive and helping families feel supported.
