Medication management gets attention

Medication management is a key part of the experience for many residents and families.

Several reviews describe medication support as one of the main reasons families or patients stayed engaged with treatment. People mention getting medication restarted, having medication adjusted, and feeling like the team worked to find the right regimen. A few reviews also describe medication changes as harmful or jarring, so results appear to vary by situation and staff interaction.
