    Friendly staff but unsafe care

    I had a very mixed experience. On the plus side the staff I interacted with were often friendly, caring and long-tenured, the activities program and dining/grounds can be strong, and the renovated rooms and move-in process were pleasant. But care was inconsistent - chronic understaffing, slow or no response to call bells, missed showers/toothbrushing, unattended falls and serious safety/cleanliness lapses (dirty sheets, feces, pests reported) left me alarmed. Communication and billing were poor (hidden fees, non-refundable prepayment, surprise charges). If your loved one is fairly independent this place can work; for higher-need or memory care I would be very cautious and watch everything closely.
