What this means for your family
This facility has a highly active and engaging recreation program, which is a major benefit for resident quality of life. However, the recurring reports of hygiene issues and slow nursing response times are significant red flags; we strongly recommend visiting during a weekend or evening shift to see how the facility operates when administrative staff are not present.
