Several reviews say the building looks clean and comfortable, and mention housekeeping keeping the facility in good shape. Others report serious cleanliness and hygiene problems, including complaints about odors and the care team not cleaning up waste in a timely way. Reviews about cleaning are therefore not consistent.
