    Clean building, unreliable and unsafe

    My experience was mixed. The building is clean and home-like with nice food, activities, and several genuinely caring staff (some CNAs, nurses, social worker, activities director, front desk), but overall care was unreliable and sometimes unsafe: meds late, 60-minute call-light responses, failed bathroom assistance, promised therapy cut in half, and the DON didn't fix problems. My family had to constantly advocate; I witnessed neglectful, disrespectful behavior and incidents that felt abusive and potentially legally concerning. It's expensive (~$7,000/month); I cannot recommend it unless you see consistent, trustworthy staff firsthand.
