common18 reviews mention this
Staff care stands out
Residents and families frequently describe kind, attentive caregivers and nurses.
Many reviews emphasize staff being caring, professional, and responsive to questions, with repeated praise for nurses, CNAs, and therapists. Several reviewers single out specific staff members by name as particularly supportive, and a number describe the environment as clean and welcoming alongside that personal attention. A few reviews also acknowledge that the staffing load can be heavy, even when the individuals providing care try to help.

Call lights and response times
Some residents report slow or missed responses when help is urgently needed.
A recurring concern is that call lights go unanswered for long stretches, with reviewers describing waits that can be 30 minutes or more. Multiple accounts connect these delays to understaffing, including situations where assistance for toileting or bathroom needs is delayed. Even when some administrators met with families and described follow-up, reviewers still report additional instances later, including delays around medications and care tasks.
