    Beautiful facility, inconsistent care, neglect

    I had a mixed experience: the facility is beautiful, clean, chalet-like with great activities, community involvement and strong veteran support - many staff were kind, helpful, and went above and beyond. After a good first year, neglect emerged: understaffing, poor bedside rounding, hygiene lapses (I found dried vomit on my loved one), belongings not returned and no condolences. Some caregivers (DON, front desk, aides) were excellent and attentive with meals and visits, so care was inconsistent. Lovely environment and programs, but demand strict oversight and better management accountability.
