Dining feedback is mixed
Dining reviews are inconsistent, with some families praising cooked meals and others calling the food poor.
Some families say the community provides cooked meals and that dining felt better than expected. However, other reviews criticize food quality strongly, describing meals as awful or unhealthy and saying needs around meals were not handled well. Even when care is described positively, those food complaints still show up as a recurring concern.
