    Bright facility inconsistent, concerning care

    I liked the bright, clean building, roomy private rooms, courtyard and robust activities - many staff (and a new DON/management) were warm, hands-on, and rehab/therapy impressed me. But care was inconsistent: chronic understaffing, spotty communication, and alarming lapses (falls, delayed ER transfers, suspected bedsores and ignored needs) made me fear neglect at times. The Alzheimer's unit and some shifts seemed better than others. I'd only recommend after confirming current staffing and leadership stability - I wasn't completely comfortable trusting them with a very vulnerable loved one.
