Food quality is mixed

Food satisfaction varies, with some residents calling it poor.

Some reviews criticize meals as unappetizing, with descriptions that go beyond taste to include limited produce and slow medication delivery times connected to overall routine. Another reviewer says food is a problem even while praising other care. At the same time, a few reviews say the food is good, so experiences are not consistent across residents.
