Dining is good, with occasional complaints

Food gets mostly positive comments, though a few families want it to be better.

Staffing and medication timing concerns

A small number of reviewers report delays with staffing needs and medication timing.

While most feedback is positive, a negative review describes staffing being short and says basic needs like timely medication, hygiene help, and regular meals were delayed. That same review also reports poor communication about medical conditions and care plans, saying updates were inconsistent. Another isolated complaint focuses on medication not being received for an extended period after it was ordered.
