What this means for your family
While the facility offers excellent physical therapy and a clean environment, the recurring reports of neglect and communication failures are significant red flags. If you consider this facility, we strongly recommend unannounced visits and asking specifically about their protocols for family communication and how they handle patient deterioration during off-hours.
