Residents and visitors often describe the meals in positive terms.
Several reviewers mention that the food is good, with at least one saying it looked amazing during a visit.

Reviewers talk about a social life coming back for residents, including efforts to offer different types of activities.

A couple of reviewers raise concerns about staffing levels.
Two reviews criticize staffing shortages and describe situations where too few employees were on the floor. Those commenters connect the staffing to a lack of the physical, mental, and social care they expected. While many other reviews are highly positive about care, staffing is still a recurring concern for a smaller share of families.
Many reviewers highlight how clean the facility looks and feels.
