    Upscale facility with staffing issues

    I chose Portside and have been impressed by the beautiful, upscale, resort-like facility-well-appointed apartments, saltwater pool, on-site PT and a busy calendar of activities. The staff (nurses, front desk, housekeeping, activities) are overwhelmingly kind, patient and proactive; their attention really helped with the transition and lifted my loved one's mood. Dining is restaurant-style but inconsistent and pricey, and I've noticed staffing shortages, occasional med-management/communication hiccups and leadership turnover that need improvement. Despite those issues, management listens and the community feels warm and family-focused - overall I recommend Portside (4/5).
