    Friendly staff, poor food, communication

    I appreciated the friendly, attentive Bay Area staff who kept my father clean, supported his mobility and soft-food needs, and a responsive manager who helped with moving him out. But nutrition was inadequate (meals mostly starch - mashed potatoes/gravy, crackers/canned peach, spaghetti, salty ramen), communication was terrible: his room was emptied, belongings packed and he was removed without notice after a hospitalization for edema. Residents seemed comfortable and happy and the place isn't fancy, but I'm very disappointed.
