Staffing and call response
Several residents and families report staffing and response problems that hurt daily care.
Some reviews describe missed or delayed attention, including residents being left in soiled clothing and a call button with no response. Others describe staff seeming too busy to listen to concerns, medication being overlooked, and families not being informed when a resident was sent out. There are also accounts of staff appearing burned out or discouraged, with one reviewer tying issues to staffing shortages and overwork. A few other reviews are more positive about care, but the negative pattern is frequent enough to stand out.

Outdoor access and activities
Outdoor visiting space and activity time are recurring points in the reviews.
Reviews mention outdoor sitting areas that make visits feel more pleasant. Some families also say the facility could do more to bring patients outside more often, especially in good weather. On the other hand, one review says there wasnât much to do and that residents didnât have freedom to go outside or access a grassy patio area. Taken together, outdoor time and activity options appear to vary by unit and by what families expected.
