Odor and cleanliness complaints appear

Some visitors report strong urine odor and poor cleanliness during care needs.

A few reviewers describe incidents involving urine odor and situations where they felt residents were not cleaned or attended to promptly. These comments also include concerns about linens not being handled properly and a general lack of privacy in bathroom routines. Another reviewer adds that they noticed repeated strong urine smells and bed-care lapses, alongside worries about untreated issues such as infections.

Staffing and responsiveness concerns

Some reviews raise concerns about staffing levels and response time.

While multiple reviewers praise the care team, other comments describe residents appearing sad or upset with complaints going unheard.

There are also accounts of delays when assistance was requested during a visit, which led the reviewer to wait for a staff member.
