Despite these services, resident and family reviews suggest mixed experiences. Positive aspects noted include the dedication and compassionate handling of patients by certain staff members, like Eddie and the therapy team, who have been acknowledged for their strong patient care contributions. However, concerns were raised over facility conditions, citing issues such as outdated infrastructure, mismanagement in care administration, hydration deficiencies, and oversight in medication management. Reports of missing personal items, unappetizing meals, delayed medical documentation, and disengaged administrative responses have also been pointed out as areas needing improvement. While the staff's genuine efforts are recognized, ongoing systemic challenges seem to create cautious sentiments about the facility among the families of residents.
