Rehab and medical follow-through

Rehabilitation experiences range from highly supportive to lacking medical follow-through.

Some families describe strong rehab experiences after events like a stroke, including feeling their loved one was in good hands and that requests were handled. Other reviewers say they or their loved one needed more medical attention and were not being seen by providers, or that certain care needs were not being addressed as expected. A reviewer also singled out a wound nurse as a bright spot, even while criticizing other staff.
