Call bells and staffing raise concerns
Some residents report delayed help when they use call buttons.
A recurring complaint is that call bells go unanswered or responses take a long time. Several reviewers connect this to staffing shortages or shift differences, and describe times when they waited for assistance with basic needs. Even some otherwise positive reviews mention that response times could be better, which shows up as a recurring gap alongside stronger praise for certain staff members.
