Many reviewers describe the environment as consistently clean and well-maintained, with particular appreciation for the lack of unpleasant odors. Positive remarks emphasize the dedication and caring nature of frontline nurses and aides, who are recognized for their protective attitude toward residents and close collaboration with hospice services.
