Staffing and basic care concerns
Several reviews raise concerns about missed help and inconsistent basic care.
A number of negative reviews describe delays in responding to call buttons or requests for help, including help with hydration, bathing, or getting to mobility needs. Some also mention being left in soiled garments, not receiving prescribed medications, or receiving care only after family advocates pushed for it. A couple of reviews specifically frame the issues as understaffing, while others feel the facility can provide strong care—so the concern appears tied to day-to-day consistency.

Pricing comes in below averages
Pricing shown for private and studio units runs below county and state averages.
Pricing provided for private and studio options indicates amounts that are below both county and state reference figures. This can matter for families comparing total monthly cost before committing to rehab or longer stays. Reviews still vary widely on day-to-day care quality, so cost comparisons don’t fully resolve the questions some families raised about staffing and basic services.
