Physical therapy is one of the more consistent positive themes.

Food quality is mixed
Some residents report food that is unappetizing or served cold.
A couple of reviews call out food as bad or not appealing, including examples of it being served cold. At the same time, other reviews mention enjoying meals, including specific items, so the experience appears inconsistent across stays.
