Staffing warmth is uneven
Staff friendliness and professionalism are praised, but complaints about rudeness appear too.
Many reviewers say staff members, nurses, and CNAs were professional, attentive, and caring, and several name specific people in recreation, administration, and nursing roles. That positive theme also includes help with admissions, social work support, and transportation to outside appointments. At the same time, other reviews describe rude behavior, residents and families being ignored, and a lack of empathy. Taken together, the staff experience in reviews feels inconsistent.
