Review Summary
The following is an AI generated summary of the reviews of the community from across the web.
The reviews for the senior living facility present a mixed picture, highlighting both commendable and concerning aspects. Positive feedback praises the therapy and rehabilitation services, with many reviewers expressing gratitude towards specific therapists and nurses for their exceptional care and professionalism. The physical, occupational, and speech therapy teams, along with certain members of the nursing staff, are frequently mentioned for their dedication and effectiveness, contributing significantly to patients' recovery and well-being.
However, several reviews raise serious concerns about the facility's management, organization, and communication. Issues such as missed medical appointments, unresponsive staff, and poor food service are mentioned, alongside more distressing reports of neglect and inadequate care leading to health complications. The facility's handling of visitation during COVID-19 and the accuracy of information provided to family members are also criticized, with some reviewers experiencing frustration and confusion over inconsistent policies and communication.
While some families report a positive experience, particularly with the therapy services, others express dissatisfaction with the overall care and management, leading them to seek alternative facilities.
