Caring staff but serious failures
I have mixed feelings. Some staff were amazing and compassionate, hospice and end-of-life support was good, activities and meals were generally fine. But I saw disturbing care failures - unexplained bruises and cuts on my dad, a broken-nose appearance, misinformation from the head nurse, missed dialysis and a hospital transfer for sepsis/low hemoglobin - plus poor communication, exclusion of family/POA from care decisions, and overall lack of accountability. Serious safety and compliance problems (hired a convicted abuser who took months to be made compliant, sprinkler coverage only in hallways, $36k+ fine, missing fire-drill records) mean I cannot fully recommend this place despite some caring staff.
