"Pictures hanging on walls in hallway 2nd floor were crooked and looked old, cheap. Don't need to have lots of decor setting out. Less is better. Carpet on stairs dirty. Need healthier options for breakfast. Offer hot oatmeal already on crockpot. Milk should not be in container. Needs to be in refrigerator. Greek yogurt would be better."
