Thank you for your review! It is so rewarding to hear that you have a great onsite culture and are part of an efficient team. While I don't have much detail regarding your specific situation, hopefully, you would know us better than to provide a lack of resources or tools for success....especially related to overall resident engagement and satisfaction. Please feel free to reach out to our P&C team, or your leadership and embrace CV #2 by building an open and honest relationship with communication so we can provide you with the necessary tools. I promise we have them! Thank you for your commitment to your residents, community, and Cardinal.
