Cleanliness is mentioned often, with multiple reviewers describing clean rooms and a facility that looks well maintained.

Rehab care gets mixed feedback

Rehabilitation care is a central focus, with both strong therapy praise and serious complaints.

Because many reviews are about short-term rehab or therapy, feedback about therapy quality and day-to-day care is a recurring theme. Several reviewers say rehab therapists were excellent and that they or their loved ones did well with therapy. At the same time, other reviews raise serious concerns about care quality, including errors, lack of proper communication with families, and problems involving infections and follow-through.

caveat 6 reviews mention this

Communication and staffing concerns recur

Some reviews describe breakdowns in communication and not enough skilled nursing coverage.

A recurring caveat involves how information is shared with family and whether care is adequately covered. Several reviewers describe situations where they say they were not informed about relevant medical updates, including infections or wound issues. Other comments also question staffing levels for rehab patients, along with dissatisfaction about how visits and in-room logistics were handled during COVID-era restrictions.
