    Caring staff, unresolved safety concerns

    I chose this facility for its clean, spacious, well-run feel, caring nurses, attentive staff and therapists, helpful admin, convenient bus route and nearby dentist - auto-pay and appointment help made things easy. Many staff were kind, responsive and resident-focused; visits were comforting and the place felt safe and home-like. That said, I reported alleged abuse by a staffer (hair-pulling, sore arm, possible oxygen denial) and there have been delays and unsatisfactory responses from management and others; police and third-party reports were involved but issues remain unresolved. The home can be busy/noisy, some equipment needs replacing, and I saw concerning weight loss/neglect signs. Overall I'm grateful for many hardworking caregivers but cannot overlook the unresolved safety and care concerns - a good place in many ways, but not the right fit for us.
