Critical

Since new ownership: Don't Believe What You're Told

The facility is lovely. There has been a huge turnover of staff since new ownership so I cannot comment further on most staff. However, the facility is currently under construction and there is a lot of noise and inconvenience to the residents.

As an Independent now I am very satisfied with the care. The housekeepers are great. But, we need more helps everywhere especially at night. Also, need more help with emptying the trash every day.
