Multiple reviews mention physical therapy as part of their improvement, including recovery after falls and injuries like a sprained ankle or fractured neck. Several families describe therapists as patient, informative, and genuinely helpful. Even in reviews that raise other concerns, at least one describes the physical therapy staff as amazing. Overall, the rehab and therapy experience is one of the more consistently positive themes.

Medication and neglect concerns

A number of the negative reviews describe patients not getting the needed care, including mentions of neglect and problems with medication or treatment plans. Several reviewers cite safety issues such as bed sores and pain, while others describe oxygen- or breathing-related problems. One review also raises concerns about psychiatric medications being used when they believe they were not needed. These comments are in tension with the caregiving praise seen in other reviews.

Communication access can fail
