What this means for your family

Given the lack of detailed positive feedback and the serious allegations regarding staff conduct and nutrition, families should exercise extreme caution. We strongly recommend an unannounced visit during a weekend or evening shift to observe staff-resident interactions and inspect the dining services firsthand before committing.
