Food quality is mixed
Food quality is frequently mentioned, but opinions vary widely.
Some reviewers say the food was good, varied, or healthy during rehab or hospice, and a few mention appreciation for meal service. Others directly criticize meals as bland or inadequate, and at least one review says patients were not being fed as expected. Several reviews land in the middle, describing the food as merely okay or noting it could be improved. Overall, dining comes up often enough that families seem to notice it day to day.
