What this means for your family
Manzano Del Sol is highly regarded for its independent living community and therapy services, making it a strong choice for those seeking an active lifestyle or short-term rehab. However, the recurring reports of neglect, medication errors, and missing personal items in the skilled nursing unit are critical red flags. If you are considering the skilled nursing or rehab wing, we strongly advise daily in-person visits to monitor care and medication adherence.
