    Kind staff; clean, limited activities

    I'm generally very happy here - the staff are kind, accommodating and provide high-quality care, the food is plentiful and well prepared (the cook even experiments with Indian recipes), and the building is spotless and convenient to my home. The shared-room option was a good value and I would recommend the place to other families. It feels home-like to me, though staffing shortages, occasional language barriers and some staff challenges can make it feel more like a facility at times. Activities and social outings are limited and could be improved, and I've had trouble sleeping at night with daytime wakefulness. Overall solid care and cleanliness, but better programming and stronger staffing are needed.
