    Beautiful campus, severe staffing issues

    I have mixed feelings: the campus is beautiful and spotlessly clean, activities and rehab are strong, and many staff were compassionate and went above and beyond. Since the Juniper acquisition I saw a steep decline - chronic understaffing, rude or uncaring aides, long nurse-response times, chaotic/late dining with unsafe GF risks, and residents sometimes quarantined with almost inmate-like treatment. Those failures led to delayed care and, in one tragic case, a bladder infection that progressed to sepsis - an investigation and management fixes are clearly needed. I'd recommend with caution: great people and therapies here, but systemic staffing, food, and care issues must be addressed.
