What this means for your family
While the admissions team is highly praised for their professionalism and support, the facility has a recurring history of hygiene issues and slow response times to patient needs. If you are considering this facility, we strongly recommend visiting during off-hours to assess the cleanliness and staffing levels yourself, and asking specifically about their protocols for call-light response and patient hygiene.
