One serious trust concern
One reviewer raised a serious concern about how the agency handled their finances.
One review was sharply negative, alleging improper handling related to life savings and Medicare/Medicaid. The same reviewer says a social worker advised them to pursue options first and that they later moved to another facility. All other reviews in the set are strongly positive about professionalism and care at home. Because this is the only negative account included here, the overall sentiment remains positive.
