Therapy availability and staffing responsiveness
Therapy and response time are recurring concerns in reviews.
A few reviews directly criticize therapy—saying it was not delivered as promised or that there was limited time for sessions even when staff appeared available. Other reviews are more positive, describing therapy staff as getting residents back on their feet and highlighting a rehab experience after surgery. Some dissatisfaction also overlaps with staffing and timing, including complaints about how quickly staff responded to patient needs.
