"I recently visited Mira Vie at Forsgate. I noticed the hallway to the elevator the floors were dirty. The floor inside the elevator was dirty.

I called the person who is in charge and left a message (AS) and have not received a call back yet almost 24 hours later. Resident's rooms are not cleaned well.
