    Clean facility, dangerous inconsistent care

    I experienced a clean, welcoming facility with nice rooms, twice-daily cleaning, frequent staff visits, attentive nurses/aides, feeding help and therapies. However care was inconsistent - I saw uncaring/lazy shifts, a too-hard bed, and serious safety lapses (wrong meds, missed doctor check-ups) that nearly put my dad at risk; mixed experience, proceed with caution.
