Therapy drives reported progress
The rehab therapy is a central reason many residents feel they improve.

A number of families also mention specific rehab staff members (therapists, OT/PT, and aides) and credit them with helping meet goals. Even in reviews that were otherwise critical of care delivery, residents still describe the therapy program as good.

Some reviews flag communication gaps
A minority of residents and families report problems with care communication.
While many reviewers say doctors and staff keep families informed, other families describe difficulties getting assistance promptly and receiving clear updates about progress. A few reviews also criticize administration or case management, describing dismissive experiences or needing escalation to resolve issues. These comments tend to focus on coordination, transparency, and follow-through rather than therapy itself.
