Resident and family feedback presents a mixed perspective on the facility’s services. While some families appreciate the kindness and cooperative nature of staff members and find the apartment accommodations comfortable, others have raised concerns about staff reliability and administrative stability, noting high turnover rates and abrupt management changes.
