Staff experiences are widely split

Medication timing and bathing concerns

Some reviews raise concerns about medication schedules and basic care consistency.

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.

caveat 4 reviews mention this

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 reviewer’s experience.

caveat 7 reviews mention this

Neglect and understaffing are repeated

Multiple reviews cite understaffing that affected resident care and safety.

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. A few accounts go further, describing neglect severe enough to result in hospitalization and unmanaged wounds. Even in reviews that otherwise sound positive, there are mentions of coverage issues that can impact daily routines.
