What this means for your family
This facility has a highly regarded rehabilitation team that has helped many residents regain mobility. However, families should be aware of recurring reports regarding slow response times to call lights and inconsistent communication from administration. We strongly recommend touring the facility in person and asking specifically about their protocols for addressing family concerns and ensuring timely care.
