common27 reviews mention this
Staff care is a mixed picture
Many residents and families describe staff as caring and attentive.
A large share of reviewers say the staff is helpful, professional, and supportive day to day. Several mention warm, friendly interactions, attentive assistance, and good communication with family. In rehab-focused comments, families also describe teams that keep them informed about progress and goals. Still, other reviewers report the experience isn’t consistent across shifts and departments.

Understaffing and call-light delays
Some reviews describe long waits and insufficient coverage.
Some reviewers complain about not enough staff, including instances where residents seemed ignored for long periods or call lights went unanswered. A few comments describe difficulties getting needed help in a timely way, with complaints about delayed attention and hygiene issues. There are also mentions that staff can feel overwhelmed when multiple residents need support at once. Residents do receive help with activities of daily living in the care plan, but these reviews suggest coverage can fall short for some families.
