What this means for your family
While the physical therapy department receives some praise, the overwhelming number of reports regarding neglect, hygiene, and lack of responsiveness is a major red flag. If you are considering this facility, you must conduct an unannounced visit, specifically checking the call light response times and the cleanliness of the rooms, and insist on a clear plan for how they will communicate with your family.
