Care continuity is the main risk
A recurring concern is staffing and getting timely help.
Alongside strong praise, several reviews raise concerns about understaffing, delays in care, and residents not being checked on unless called. Some reviewers describe long waits for assistance, difficulty finding staff on rehab floors, or communication problems when help was needed. These complaints are specific enough that they can meaningfully affect day-to-day comfort, especially for residents needing frequent support.
