However, not all reviewers have had a positive experience. Kim Davenport was too upset to write a review after her father passed away, having stayed at the home for 10 days. Lynda Rafter's review is particularly critical, detailing how she received a blunt and uncompassionate phone call informing her of her mother's death, with no empathy or understanding shown.
