Staff care is the main strength
Residents and families consistently describe attentive, compassionate staff.
Across reviews, people describe staff members as professional, responsive, and focused on residents’ needs.

Cleanliness is mixed but central
Cleanliness comes up often, with both strong praise and serious complaints.
Many reviews say the facility is clean, well-kept, and free of unpleasant odors, and several specifically mention housekeeping. Other reviewers report odors and dirty conditions, including claims about bathrooms, rooms, and hallways. Because the feedback runs in both directions, cleanliness may depend on the unit and timing of each stay.

Activities are valued, but there are gaps

One reviewer also contrasts that there are fewer activities than before and describes residents mostly watching a movie and falling asleep. Overall, activities appear to matter to families, but the consistency of options may vary.

Billing and communication can be problematic
Billing practices and office communication are major points of frustration for some families.
At least a couple of reviews raise concerns about billing statements and responsiveness from the business office and administrators. One review warns families to be aware of billing practices and says statements were not provided, while another describes problems with insurance authorization and communication. These accounts stand out as concerns separate from day-to-day care experiences.
