    Compassionate care with occasional lapses

    I'm very pleased overall - the staff are warm, compassionate and respectful, management listens, and end-of-life care was outstanding, which gave us real peace of mind. My father enjoys the new, clean building, food, activities, and has made friends. Downsides: occasional understaffing and inconsistent caregivers (we had a bathroom incident and slow call-button response), and the price feels high given those lapses. I still highly recommend it for compassionate, dignified care.
