Cleaning and upkeep are disputed
Some reviews report dirty rooms and poor upkeep.
A recurring concern is that basic cleanliness and room presentation were not maintained, including reports of linens not being changed and stained carpets and outdated, soiled furniture. Other comments mention staff behavior that residents’ items were left on the floor and that the facility felt unclean overall. A few reviews also connect this to not seeing adequate cleaning products in use.
