Gencare staff seemed capable and overall decent, but not exceptional. We did feel they were a little deceptive on rates and pricing.

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
