    Beautiful independent living, unsafe care

    I've had a mixed experience. The independent-living side is lovely - beautiful grounds and buildings, great chefs and food, nonstop activities, and excellent PT/OT - staff there are often warm and attentive. But the health center/skilled-nursing side in my experience was unacceptable: dirty rooms, short-staffing, rude or unresponsive staff, poor infection control, delayed/missed care that led to hospitalization. Quality is wildly inconsistent - wonderful for active living, unsafe for skilled care - so I would not send a loved one there without caution and believe stronger oversight is warranted.
