Cleanliness and odor are a divide

Reviews are split on cleanliness and smells, ranging from “super clean” to strong odor complaints.

Positive reviews mention a clean, well-kept facility, including clean rooms and laundry and careful infection-control practices. A couple of reviewers also say the building did not smell as bad as they expected. Negative reviews, however, include complaints about persistent feces or urine odors and even the facility smelling like an animal kennel. Several of the negative comments connect those cleanliness concerns to dissatisfaction with day-to-day care.
