caveat 2 reviews mention this

Care experience can vary

Some reviews report troubling moments with individual caregivers.

While many people describe good care overall, two reviews raise serious concerns about caregiver handling and communication. One review criticizes a night CNA for not helping the resident and not listening to breathing concerns. Another describes problems with feeding tube training and communication, along with a highly distressing outcome that required reversal.

caveat 2 reviews mention this

Billing and prescriptions frustrate

A few reviews complain about billing and prescription processes.

Two reviews specifically complain about administrative issues rather than bedside care. One describes billing problems, including being billed more than insurance allowed and not being notified promptly. Another says prescriptions can’t be called in and the process requires picking up a paper prescription.
