    Review Summary

    The following is an AI generated summary of the reviews of the community from across the web.

    Reviews of the Citadel senior living facility present a mixed picture, with some residents and their families expressing satisfaction and others voicing significant concerns.

    • Positive aspects highlighted include the beautiful campus and apartment layouts, friendly staff, a variety of fun activities, and exceptional care during the Covid-19 pandemic, including the use of Zoom calls for family communication.
    • Some residents appreciate the welcoming atmosphere, the clean and well-maintained facilities, and the range of amenities such as a library, chapel, salon, and dining room. The staff is described as responsive, kind, and caring, with a special mention of the new leadership under Executive Director Karina and Wellness Director Renarda for elevating the level of care.
    • However, there are significant concerns about the lack of adequate staff, poor maintenance of the buildings, and a drastic transition back to normal post-Covid. Some reviews report severe issues such as lack of communication regarding treatment plans, unattended medical needs, poor food quality, and even allegations of theft and neglect. One particularly distressing account mentions a bedbug infestation and the loss of personal belongings.
    • There are also complaints about the facility being outdated, medication management issues, and a general sense of unprofessionalism and lack of care from the staff.

    While some residents and their families have had positive experiences, enjoying the facility's amenities and the staff's dedication, others have faced serious issues that raise concerns about the overall quality of care and management at the Citadel.
