Food quality draws mixed reactions

Food is a recurring point of complaint, with some residents and families wanting improvements.

While some reviews say the food tastes good and meets dietary needs, others raise concerns about the quality of meals, especially breakfast. A few reviewers specifically ask for better food in general, rather than focusing on service or cleanliness. One review also includes a complaint tied to the mealtime experience alongside issues with in-room equipment.

Rehab progress depends on follow-through

Rehab experiences vary, with some reviewers describing strong support and others describing missed follow-through.

Several reviews describe positive rehab outcomes, including staff supporting therapy goals and helping residents work toward walking again. Other reviewers report problems during rehab, such as mobility equipment that did not fit well and a rehab nurse not showing up after PT ended. There are also accounts where families felt rehab patients were not cared for quickly enough during the day or evening, especially with basic repositioning or pain management needs.
