Medication timing and bathing concerns

A couple of reviews describe issues getting care delivered on time, including medication being delayed and requiring residents to request it. Other concerns include bathing being missed for stretches and incidents where residents were left unable to get to the bathroom. Residents describe care as sometimes reliable, but these accounts point to lapses in follow-through.

Cleanliness is praised, sometimes questioned
Cleanliness is reported as generally maintained, but some reviews describe dirty conditions.
Several reviews say the facility is clean, well kept, and has a homey feel, including examples of clean maintained areas. Other reviews contradict that with reports of dirty bedding, dirty floors, and severe neglect tied to wound care. Overall, cleanliness shows up as both a positive and a recurring concern depending on the reviewerâs experience.

Some reviews describe the facility as short-handed, with residents not being helped when needed and staff being hard to find or not paying attention.
