Caring staff comes through

Multiple reviews describe staff members as caring, kind, and responsive to personal concerns.

A recurring thread is the way many staff members show up for residents and families, with multiple reviews using language like caring, helpful, and professional. Some reviewers single out nurses for communication and follow-through on concerns, while others highlight directors or unit leaders as attentive to specific needs. Even amid criticisms, a few reviews note that certain nursing staff were kind and never the source of the problem.

Cleanliness and pests are major issues

Multiple residents and families report serious cleanliness problems, including pests like mice and cockroaches.

Many negative reviews describe cockroaches and mice, along with complaints about odors, dirty rooms, and reports of mouse droppings. Several families describe a need for problems to be addressed quickly, including rooms and belongings affected by pests. A few reviewers also mention cleanliness concerns in the form of grime and unpleasant smells, which they felt undermined basic living conditions.

caveat 8 reviews mention this

Care response times raise concerns

Residents and families frequently mention long wait times and missed assistance when help is needed.

A number of reviews describe unanswered call lights or delays getting staff support, including instances where help was needed with toileting and basic care. Others report residents being left for extended periods without help, such as remaining in a chair, waiting for diaper changes, or not getting timely attention to urgent needs. There are also complaints about difficulty reaching the right place by phone and trouble getting follow-up when messages are left.

caveat 4 reviews mention this

Medication and treatment delays

Some reviewers describe medication and treatment delays that worried them about safety.

Several negative reviews focus on medication-related concerns, including delayed administration of IV antibiotics and worries about how that could affect recovery. Other comments describe failure to administer prescribed care such as pain meds or day-to-day medications, and concern that staffing and processes led to missed or incorrect treatment. While not every medical concern was framed the same way, the common point is that some families felt medication and treatment were not handled with the timeliness they expected.
