Staffing pressure drives some complaints
Some reviews raise concerns about staffing levels and delays in care.
A subset of reviews says staffing was too thin at key times, leading to long waits for help with toileting, wound care, or call lights. One review describes concerns about patient movement and safety during rehab, including a need for more monitoring. Another highlights heavy patient loads for nurses and difficulty keeping up with routine tasks and medications. These complaints stand out because they focus on missed care needs rather than general dissatisfaction.
