What this means for your family
While the facility shows success in short-term physical rehabilitation, the reports of neglect and communication failures in long-term care are concerning. If you are considering this facility, we strongly recommend conducting unannounced visits and asking for a clear, written policy on how families are notified during medical emergencies.
