    Welcoming staff, inconsistent and unsafe

    I had a mixed experience. The place is clean, warm and welcoming, and many day staff were professional, kind and helped my loved one become healthier, more mobile and socially engaged - at first I felt real peace of mind. However care was inconsistent: some caregivers were excellent but evenings were below average, staff were often short-staffed, transfers unsafe and basic care (mouth hygiene, meds) was hit-or-miss, resulting in injuries. Administration was unresponsive, the manager rude and uncooperative, belongings went missing and I was forced into an urgent midnight relocation; I now suspect ongoing misconduct and have pursued legal action. Communication and the phone system were frustrating. In short: great for relatively independent residents; not suitable if significant care or memory support is needed.
