What this means for your family

While the facility offers strong rehabilitation and an active social calendar, the recent increase in negative reports regarding neglect and unresponsive staff is concerning. We strongly recommend visiting in person during off-hours to observe call-light response times and asking for a clear, written explanation of all billing policies before admission.
