    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 of experiences. Some reviewers express deep dissatisfaction with the care provided, citing instances of neglect, poor communication, and unsanitary conditions. One reviewer was particularly upset about the handling of their father's belongings and filed a complaint for neglect. Another shared a distressing experience of pulling their father out due to subpar care and lack of communication. Concerns about residents contracting COVID-19 presumably from staff and reports of residents being left in unsanitary conditions were also mentioned.

    On the other hand, several reviews highlight positive experiences, praising the facility for its compassionate staff, clean environment, and effective rehabilitation services. Some reviewers noted the caring and professional team that helped their loved ones recover and return home. The facility was commended for its attentive staff, clean facility, and the sense of community among staff and residents. Positive rehab experiences and the quality of physical therapy received were also points of satisfaction for some.

    However, the negative reviews raise serious concerns about the level of care and management at the facility. Issues such as poor hygiene, inadequate response to health emergencies, and a lack of empathy from the staff suggest a need for significant improvements. The contrast between the positive and negative reviews indicates a disparity in experiences that potential residents and their families should consider carefully.
