Despite having amenities like an electronic medication administration record system, levels of care to suit varying needs, a barber/beauty salon, and spiritual support for Catholic and Jewish residents, feedback highlighted significant issues within the facility. Reviews consistently pointed to staffing shortages and insufficient quality of care, leading to concerns over unmet basic needs and a lack of proper resident support. An unpleasant atmosphere, marked by negative descriptions of odors and perceived staff inattentiveness, was a common theme, culminating in reports of staff not knowing residents' names. While there were mentions of individual staff members showing care and maintaining cleanliness, these efforts did not compensate for the reported systemic deficiencies. The dissatisfaction eventually led to the facility's closure, reflecting critical unresolved issues that compromised trust and the safety perceptions of residents and their families.
