Schofield Residence has a strong overall Medicare rating. Public reviewers frequently mention: engaging and creative activity programs and professional and helpful rehab therapy team. Review the component ratings and current source records before deciding.
Schofield Residence receives highly polarized reviews, with some families praising the dedicated staff and engaging activity programs, while others report severe neglect, poor hygiene, and dangerous understaffing.
