Resident and family reviews describe a mix of positive and negative experiences. Positive feedback often highlights the friendly staff, quality therapy services, and a welcoming, clean environment. Some families found care during rehabilitation particularly effective. However, there are serious concerns regarding staff attentiveness, professionalism, and resident safety, as at least one incident involved inadequate supervision. While some families feel confident in the care provided, others remain wary of potential lapses, particularly in maintaining safety protocols.
