caveat 8 reviews mention this

Communication with families falls short

Families say communication is slow, unclear, or repeatedly unanswered.

Several reviewers describe difficulty getting updates from the rehab liaison, administrator, or in-house doctor, even after leaving multiple messages. Some families say promises to call back were missed, or that they were routed through intermediaries instead of receiving direct answers. There are also complaints that discharge planning did not include family input, leaving caregivers without enough notice or coordination. A few reviewers also mention rude or unprofessional responses when they did reach management.

Supervision and safety concerns recur

Residents appear to have faced supervision and fall-prevention issues, according to multiple families.

Reviews include serious safety complaints such as a fall after a resident was left unsecured, with long delays before calling for emergency help. Others describe neglect-related outcomes like dehydration, bedsores lasting for months, and family members having to push for basic care. One reviewer says a patient was moved or treated in ways that increased fall risk, such as being insisted to stand for showering despite mobility limits. Another describes extended time left in a chair and subsequent health complications during the stay.
