What this means for your family

This facility is an excellent choice if you value beautiful grounds and a peaceful, religious atmosphere. However, because multiple families have reported language barriers and inconsistent nursing attention, you should specifically ask how they manage communication with non-English speaking residents and how they ensure staffing levels remain adequate during night and weekend shifts.

The nurses do not clean her up, and when they do, they do not do so properly. The language barrier is also a problem.
