    Poor care despite compassionate staff

    I placed a loved one here and had a mixed but ultimately awful experience. Many nurses, CNAs and therapists were compassionate and professional, but chronic understaffing and money-focused management led to rushed, poor care - soaked beds, diapers left on, lost personal items, unresponsive staff and refund/ billing problems. The facility and food were unacceptable: dirty bathrooms, bugs, pillows/floors not clean, repetitive horrible meals with no gluten-free options. During a COVID outbreak my relative was housed with another COVID patient for days with doors and windows shut. I can't recommend this place despite some excellent staff.
