Key Review Excerpts
“My only concern is the frequent turnover of staff, including managers. It's a little disconcerting for Mom when the familiar faces disappear and are replaced with new ones.”
“They're extremely understaffed, they led me to believe that they provided the level of care my father needed and they certainly did not.”
“Inconsistent housekeeping- it took several weeks and 3 enquiries to get sheets changed weekly. Slow/ no response to voicemails and e-mails.”
