Nursing and medication concerns

A minority of reviews raise serious worries about nursing follow-through and medication handling.

Some reviewers report missed doses of IV antibiotics or describe nurses as cutting corners, with one saying this led to worsening infection. Others allege medications weren’t administered as expected or that office personnel gave misinformation about discharge needs, including instructions for shots. Additional negative comments focus on understaffing and unmet care tasks, such as bathing and therapy, and the development of a pressure-related issue. These concerns appear alongside many positive nursing stories, but they are specific and severe in the negative reviews.

common 3 reviews mention this

Food gets mixed but positive notes

A few reviews mention the food positively, while at least one is critical.

Some residents or family members say the food is good or that their loved one likes the meals. One negative review also discusses food handling, alleging that meals were sent back and that medication care didn’t happen properly. Overall, dining shows up less often than staff and care, but the comments that do mention food lean positive with isolated issues.
