CriticalEnsure to do your due diligence and understand all documentation.
Gencare staff seemed capable and overall decent, but not exceptional. We did feel they were a little deceptive on rates and pricing. They have different layers on billing, and my father felt like they were not very forthcoming on the different billing structures. Overall, it was clean and seemed OK.

Meals and more staff to help the people in wheelchairs and that need extra help. Yes, I would recommend the community to other families even though it is very negative. When we first moved there it wasn't bad, but after January it went down hill. They let a lot of staff go. And got a new cook, and that is when the meals began to get bad
