What this means for your family
Given the consistent and severe reports of hygiene issues and pest infestations, we strongly advise families to conduct an unannounced visit and specifically inspect the cleanliness of resident rooms and common areas. While some residents praise the social services team, the recurring reports of neglect and staffing shortages present a significant risk that should be carefully evaluated before admission.
