Reviews from residents and their families highlight dissatisfaction with the provided services, particularly noting safety and hygiene concerns. Instances were reported where safety measures were inadequate, leading to situations where residents, such as those with dementia, managed to leave the facility, necessitating law enforcement involvement. Hygiene standards have come under criticism for lapses and delays in staff response, and the quality of food has been described as inadequate given the costly monthly fees associated with living at the facility. A high turnover rate among staff, including several changes in nursing directors, has further exacerbated continuity and quality of care issues. Potential residents and their families are recommended to consider these factors when evaluating the facility’s suitability for their needs.
