However, there is a consistent pattern of complaints regarding weekend staffing and basic hygiene.

Key Review Excerpts

The physical therapy department is staffed with well trained people who are diligent and inspiring. Nursing staff did their utmost to make me comfortable and meet my needs.

Rehab patient · 2018★★★★

The nurse advised that the medicine was new and that it would take time for her body to adjust. We were never informed that she had been prescribed a new medication.

Long-term resident's family · 2024★★★★

The weekend staff is the worst. They kept putting her boot on her foot wrong and caused an open wound on her foot. They keep wanting to give her the most sugary snacks.
