Concerns about delayed care
Several residents and families report delays or missed urgency in medical situations.
A number of reviews describe episodes where family members believed care was not handled quickly enough, including worries about not rushing to the hospital after concerning symptoms. Others mention problems like medication not being provided as expected and staff not acting promptly when something seemed wrong.

Cleanliness and upkeep are mixed

Some reviews paint a stark picture of the building and rooms, citing issues like being filthy, dilapidated, and outdated, with dirty personal spaces mentioned by family members. Other reviews say the facility was clean and well maintained, with one reviewer specifically describing the nursing home as clean and another noting that meals were prepared in a clean, considerate way. One review also calls the grounds and decorations a bit sparse, suggesting cleanliness and maintenance may not extend to all areas of the environment.
