What this means for your family
While some families appreciate the small, intimate setting, the recent reports of severe hygiene issues and lack of basic amenities like running water are major red flags. Before choosing this facility, we strongly recommend conducting an unannounced visit to check the cleanliness of resident rooms and asking management directly about their protocols for personal property security.
