Concerns with Laundry and Clothing
Residents' clothing is consistently being misplaced or lost, despite the use of name tags. Other residents' clothing is often put in the wrong rooms, suggesting a lack of attention to detail. The laundry system appears to be overwhelmed, with only one person responsible for over 80 residents.
Poor Quality of Life
Residents are often confined to their rooms all day, every day, leading to a boring, cold, and lonely experience. The food quality is also subpar, with one reviewer generously rating it a 3 out of 10.
