What this means for your family

While the facility is noted for its cleanliness and friendly staff, families should be aware of potential gaps in communication and patient monitoring. We recommend scheduling a tour to observe how staff interact with residents during non-event hours and asking specifically about their protocols for checking on residents with complex medical needs.
