    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.
