I've had a mostly positive experience - staff are warm, bilingual (Korean/English), meals are Korean and tasty, the place is clean, gated and comfortable, and my grandma enjoys the activities and caring atmosphere. That said, the interior can feel gray and there have been times with thin staffing and spotty communication; I'd strongly recommend confirming nursing/medical coverage and asking directly about any reported issues before deciding.
