Overall Review of Princeton Care Center
caveat6 reviews mention this
Care feels uneven day to day
Residents and families describe care that can be delayed when staffing is thin.
Several reviewers describe staffing shortfalls that lead to long waits for basics like diaper changes, nursing help, or call-bell response. Multiple comments say that when staff call out, nursing aides and other staff end up covering duties, which slows care. Some also mention safety concerns tied to delayed attention, including situations involving falls, call-bell delays, or missed check-ins.
