    Nice facility but unsafe care

    I appreciated the clean, well-maintained facility, beautiful grounds, tasty meals, and engaging activities, and some staff were compassionate and attentive, but persistent understaffing and inattention - including ignored issues, sleeping staff, and medication errors - plus poor responsiveness and a delayed refund made my experience unacceptable; I can't recommend it until care and leadership improve.
