Some families say communication with patients and family members was excellent, and they felt supported.

Dining is a recurring pain point, with complaints about food quality and meal choices.

A reviewer says a loved one wouldn’t eat and describes the food as not that great, linking it to weight loss and worsening health. Another review criticizes the variety of meals, specifically mentioning too many sandwiches and a hot dog served for Sunday lunch. The community does offer restaurant-style dining and dietary plans, but these particular reviews focus on residents not being satisfied with what was served.

caveat 5 reviews mention this
