    Dedicated staff but management fails

    I have mixed feelings. I appreciated the kind, attentive aides and nurses, clean organized building, nutritious tasty meals with dietary accommodations, personalized meds, and many activities that kept residents social and active. But I also experienced chronic short-staffing, poor/chaotic management, unanswered call lights, inconsistent or missing wound care, rude/abusive behavior and privacy concerns, and frequent misinformation to families. I used to love it here - the frontline staff are dedicated - but until management fixes staffing, communication, and accountability I can't fully recommend it.
