There's a physical therapist assistant on board helping out, plus a licensed practical nurse, and you'll see graduate students in speech language pathology lending a hand, while skilled nursing is covered 24 hours by a professional team that's used to seniors' needs, and home health aides look after daily living tasks.

You've also got amenities like an activity calendar for social and recreational options, help with personal care tasks, and a living center setting that feels both warm and welcoming.

Safety failures despite compassionate staff
I had a mixed, mostly worrying experience. Repeated understaffing and unresponsive nurses/CNAs led to delayed bathroom help, soiled/urine-soaked residents, missed meds/vitals, safety incidents, missing belongings, infections (MRSA/sepsis) and even death - conditions that felt unsafe and neglectful. At the same time the building and some rehab/therapy areas are clean and renovated, dining and activities are okay, and a handful of caregivers are outstanding - especially nurse Chrystal Harris, Martin and the PT team - compassionate, professional and attentive. Bottom line: too many serious safety and staffing problems for me to fully trust this place, though a few staff are excellent.
