Review

When it comes to cleanliness and staff interaction, this facility seems to be top-notch. One reviewer mentions that the room was very clean and the staff members were incredibly helpful, especially when it came to communicating with their Spanish-speaking mother. They were impressed with the level of care provided and had no concerns while their mother was there. The staff also assisted them in bringing their mother back home after her stay, making the transition smooth.

Another reviewer, however, expresses disappointment with the visitation policy. They claim that they were not informed about the need to call and book a 30-minute visit, and every time they called, they were told that all slots were booked. Frustrated by this, they confronted the staff and eventually managed to squeeze in a short visit. They feel that their rights as a visitor have been infringed upon and plan on reporting this issue to the appropriate authorities.

On a more positive note, there are compliments regarding the rehab therapist and the cleanliness of the rooms. It seems that at least in terms of therapy services and maintaining a hygienic environment, this facility excels.

However, not all experiences have been positive. One individual recounts an incident where their loved one was given Tylenol instead of their prescribed pain medication. This caused them significant discomfort, ultimately leading to the author picking them up earlier than anticipated. Additionally, there was an instance where personal belongings went missing, forcing them to purchase replacement items themselves. As a result of these negative experiences, this reviewer does not recommend this facility.

The next review raises concerns about the care provided by this facility. A family member complained about services received as well as how medications were charged for. The author suggests that autopsies should be conducted following patient deaths to ensure transparency and prevent any wrongdoing from taking place. They claim that their loved one's passing was done under strange circumstances and they are unsettled by it.

In contrast to some of the negative reviews, there is one individual who found the employees and management to be responsive and willing to help. They were impressed by the recent renovation, indicating that the facility is up-to-date and well-maintained. Additionally, they highly recommend this place for high-end medical care, emphasizing their satisfaction with the overall experience.

In summary, this facility receives mixed reviews. While some praise its cleanliness and helpful staff, others express dissatisfaction with visitation policies and alleged mishandling of medications. There are also concerns about missing personal belongings and a need for increased transparency in terms of patient deaths. However, one reviewer stands out with their positive experience, highlighting the responsiveness of employees and the recent renovation as factors that contribute to their recommendation of this facility for high-end medical care.
