Management response and staffing are questioned

A few reviews raise serious concerns about management follow-through and staffing coverage.

While many reviews praise care, a small set of comments focus on management—especially what happened after incidents and whether needs were handled appropriately. Reviewers describe situations involving injuries and communication or follow-up that left families dissatisfied. Another negative review questions staffing coverage and medication management during a longer stay, even while noting that some individual staff members were still caring.
