A few note communication gaps
One reviewer says follow-up and honesty around availability fell short.
One negative review describes issues after a short stay, including a fall during transfer and a lack of returned calls afterward. That reviewer also said information about availability and concerns about insulin handling were not handled as expected. This appears as an isolated concern compared with the broader set of positive staff-focused accounts.
