Discharge planning can be a problem
One short-stay reviewer says discharge coordination fell short.
One review from a short stay describes frustration with discharge paperwork and follow-up support after they say the plan wasnât completed when expected. That same reviewer reports that referral-related needs and prescriptions were not handled as they anticipated. While this is the only detailed negative discharge account in the reviews provided, itâs specific enough to stand out.
caveat

Reviews also criticize employee treatment
A couple of reviews criticize the workplace and kitchen resourcing.
Two negative reviews focus less on resident care and more on how employees are treated and supported. One reviewer alleges pay docking and describes the kitchen as not being stocked properly, while another says the workplace is fine for patients but treated workers poorly. These complaints are limited to a small portion of the reviews, but they are direct and repeated from different angles.
