    Warm community affordable staffing issues

    I chose this community because it's close to home, the grounds and apartments are spacious and affordable, and the staff are consistently friendly and engaged - they know residents by name, encourage socializing, and provide good, attentive care. Meals and activities are a plus for community life, and the facility generally feels clean and safe, though renovations are ongoing. My biggest issues are chronic understaffing, slow maintenance/response, occasional cleanliness lapses (trash, stained carpets), limited transportation and laundry options, and no memory-care unit. Overall I'm glad to be here for the value and warm community but wish management would fix staffing and maintenance problems.
