Many residents and their families express gratitude for the care, cleanliness, and community found at places like San Joaquin Gardens and the Terraces, highlighting the professional and friendly staff, excellent therapy, and a sense of belonging.
However, some reviews raise serious issues about care quality, staff professionalism, and communication.
