Admissions help, especially Rhonda

A recurring positive theme is admissions support focused on Rhonda, with reviews describing her as professional, responsive, and helpful during the process of getting a loved one placed. Some reviewers also credit her with making them feel comfortable and supported while managing a difficult move, including after placement or during transitions. A few reviews contrast overall service with issues in other departments, but the admissions experience—through Rhonda’s involvement—still comes through clearly.
