Resident and family feedback indicates strongly mixed experiences with the quality of care and staff at the facility. Positive accounts frequently mention caring, attentive, and professional staff members, especially among nursing and therapy teams, and cite individual instances of successful recovery and increased well-being for residents. However, multiple reviewers report concerns about understaffing, delayed assistance with basic needs, poor communication, and organizational issues. Additional concerns raised include inadequate hygiene practices, unappealing food, impersonal or neglectful care, and, in some cases, distress over roommate placements and safety during the COVID-19 pandemic. Some families have also noted deeper systemic issues, including claims of racism and lack of sensitivity toward residents’ individual needs. As of June 2024, there are no widely reported recent major changes at the facility.
