What this means for your family

This facility has a dedicated group of nurses and aides who provide excellent, compassionate care, making it a strong choice if you can secure specific staff members. However, families should be aware of recurring issues with weekend staffing, communication gaps, and missing personal items. We strongly recommend visiting in person on a weekend to assess the environment and having a clear plan for monitoring your loved one's belongings and daily care.
