Odor and call-bell response vary

Some reviews describe inconsistent responsiveness or noticeable odor issues.

While most feedback points to attentive care, a few reviews mention situations like delays when using the call bell or unpleasant smells. There are also accounts describing rooms or bathrooms with strong urine odors, and one review mentions wet/dirty conditions and ants that led to leaving shortly after arrival. These negative experiences stand out as exceptions to the broader praise for day-to-day help and cleanliness.

Rehab and therapy get credit

Reviews commonly connect therapy with noticeable progress.
