    Beautiful facility but staffing concerns

    I moved my parent here and was impressed by the hotel-like, spotless facility, lovely grounds, active social life, good dining and outstanding rehab/therapy - the care team (Alli/Belinda and many others) can be compassionate and professional. When staffed well, residents are happy and well cared for, but chronic understaffing, uneven training and poor management/communication made care inconsistent and, in one case, slow after a fall. Sales and move-in transparency were frustrating and costs are high with a waiting list. Overall it's a beautiful, comforting place with excellent therapists and activities, but staffing and administrative issues are real risks.
