Calls and response times vary
Some residents and families report slow or missing responses when help is needed.
Several reviews describe long waits for assistance, including alarmingly slow night response and delays that required escalating care. A few reviewers also say the nurse call process didn’t lead to timely help, including situations where calls were reportedly unanswered or staff said they didn’t hear the call. There are also accounts where care seemed to depend on whether the patient could communicate verbally, leaving some patients without effective call response.

Cleanliness and basic care concerns
Some reviews describe hygiene and comfort issues that families found unacceptable.
A recurring complaint is that residents were left in soiled linens or urine and feces for extended periods, despite repeated requests for help. Other reviews describe rooms or conditions as dirty or run down, and one family reports needing emergency-level intervention due to lack of cleaning and infection concerns. While some residents praise cleanliness, the negative reviews focus on hygiene breakdowns and discomfort.

Respiratory and trach support is central
Many reviews focus on respiratory care and therapy as a key part of the stay.
Several reviewers say the respiratory team and therapy support helped them, including mentions of care for breathing or trach-related needs. A few reviews also highlight specific clinical staff in respiratory therapy as knowledgeable and effective. On the other hand, some families of patients with significant pulmonary needs report staffing or resource gaps, including delays that led them to seek emergency treatment elsewhere.

Therapy helps residents progress
Many residents describe physical and rehab therapy as improving their strength or recovery.
A number of reviews credit therapy—especially physical therapy and rehab—for helping residents get stronger and work toward going home. Several mention wound-related recovery and ongoing therapy progress during a multi-week stay. Even among more critical accounts, there are still some positive references to particular practitioners and therapists.
