What this means for your family

While some families appreciate the long-term staff and the facility's ability to accommodate couples, the severe allegations regarding hygiene and building security are deeply concerning. We strongly recommend conducting an unannounced tour to personally inspect the cleanliness of the halls and bathrooms, and to observe the facility's security protocols regarding room access.
