Communication and intake can falter

A few reviews raise concerns about communication and receptionist behavior.

Not all feedback is smooth: one review describes being unable to place a loved one despite paperwork being submitted, along with no returned call after follow-up. Another mentions a frustrating interaction with the receptionist when trying to obtain a bathroom key. A separate review also criticizes staff as rude and disrespectful, which contrasts with the many positive comments.
