Care concerns about responsiveness and food

A smaller set of reviews raises serious concerns about communication, care quality, and follow-through.

A few reviewers report problems with responsivenessā€”such as being unable to reach someone about admission updatesā€”and others describe rudeness from staff when they called. Another concern focuses on following dietary directions during meals, with the reviewer describing bread and thin liquids when they said the patient needed restrictions. Separately, one reviewer cites a negative experience related to therapy behavior and not feeling listened to.
