Food gets mixed reactions

Food quality is a recurring point of disagreement in reviews.

Some residents and families say meals are good and even compliment specific eating concerns or diet support. Others report the food is not good, is not kept hot, or needs improvement, and a couple of negative reviews go further and criticize food as lousy.
