New leadership is seen as improving

Multiple reviewers point to recent leadership changes as a positive shift.

Several reviews describe improvement tied to a new administrator and nursing leadership, citing better staff morale, cleanliness, and care over a short period. A few other comments also echo that administration and nursing staff feel responsive and caring in practice. Not all reviews are positive, but the “change for the better” theme shows up repeatedly.

caveat 6 reviews mention this

Staff attitude and responsiveness split

Reviews are mixed on staff professionalism, with complaints about both rude behavior and missed help.

On one side, several reviewers describe specific staff members as respectful, friendly, and helpful, and they credit nurses and support teams for making residents feel cared for. On the other side, many reviews complain about unprofessional behavior, lack of attention when call buttons are pressed, and concerns about not being listened to or getting timely help. The contrast is clear in the way reviewers describe everyday interactions with staff.
