What this means for your family
While the facility is physically beautiful and offers strong physical therapy, the recurring reports of slow call-light response times and medication errors are serious red flags. If you choose this facility, we strongly advise having a family member present frequently to advocate for your loved one's needs, as responsiveness appears to be highly inconsistent.
