What this means for your family
This facility has a strong reputation for physical therapy and dedicated individual staff members who are highly accessible. However, because multiple families have reported serious concerns regarding communication during medical emergencies and hygiene, we strongly advise you to visit frequently and maintain direct contact with a unit manager to ensure your loved one's needs are consistently met.
