Constant staff turnover. Kitchen is short staffed regularly too. Resident care was lacking to the point we hired in daily sitters. Then they without cause called FD to have our mother taken out of the facility without the 30-day required notice per her lease and wouldn't allow her to come back citing her level of care exceeded their capabilities. We had sitters doing what they should have been doing. If they would get rid of the GM it might return to being a good place to send loved one. Otherwise, I don't recommend it. The fire alarms go off constantly and there are regular issues with the plumbing to where is turned off for hours at a time. Her 1st couple of months there I would have rated a 5 but with this GM in charge I give it a 1 star. Save your money and look elsewhere.
