    Good daytime care, poor nights

    I had a mixed experience at The Waters. Day staff were kind and professional-friendly nurses, good food, activities, a clean new building and a well-staffed skilled unit with effective PT-but care was inconsistent. Nights were short-staffed and substandard: smelly, cramped rooms, beds not made, residents (including my mom) unclean or improperly dressed, and administration ignored repeated concerns despite an $8,000+/month fee. I can't recommend this place until management fixes staffing and accountability.
