What this means for your family
While some families report excellent care from individual staff members, there is a recurring pattern of understaffing and slow response times to call lights. When touring, we strongly recommend observing how quickly staff respond to call lights and asking management specifically about their current staffing ratios and safety protocols for fall-risk residents.
