Rehab therapy helps patients progress
Physical, occupational, and related therapy receive strong praise for helping people improve.
Multiple reviewers highlight the quality of PT and OT, describing therapists as patient, knowledgeable, and focused on getting residents stronger. Some comments mention returning for additional rehab because therapy helped before, while others describe coordinated rehab experiences after surgery or injury. There are also critical reviews that focus more on care access and staffing than on the therapy skills themselves.

Activities and recreation keep days engaging
Residents and families describe regular activities that make time feel less passive.
Several reviewers mention recreation programming and day-to-day activities, including resident-stimulating events and classes.

Food is mixed, with bakery favorites
Food receives both praise and complaints, especially around quality.
Many reviews mention positive dining moments, including enjoying the bakery on site and describing food as good, warm, or tasty. At the same time, a few reviewers complain about the quality of meals or about how food was delivered and taken away relative to their needs. One critical review also raises concerns tied to dietary requirements, while others say menus supported specific dietary limitations.
caveat2 reviews mention this
Call bell and aide staffing are concerns
Some reviewers report problems with getting timely assistance.
A recurring concern in the more critical reviews is delayed help after pressing the call bell and difficulty getting assistance with basic needs. One review describes a shortage of aide support and poor aide attitude, including instances of long waits for bathroom help. Another critical review similarly points to not being appropriately equipped to meet higher care needs, while the rehab department is described more favorably within that same critique.
