While the facility is described as comfortable and recovery-friendly, the administrative communication is a significant pain point. Before committing, ensure you have a direct line of contact with a manager, as families have reported being ignored when attempting to coordinate care.

Key Review Excerpts
“Spent a lot of time at different centers. This by far wonderful staff. More like a really nice motel.”
“Wellbrook received a request for my mother, for respite care a month ago. They have yet to return a phone call to at least let me know anything. They completely blew us off.”
