Residents and visitors raised safety concerns tied to front-desk inattentiveness.
Two separate reviewers said the receptionist appeared to be asleep at the front desk in the mornings, causing visitors to wait outside. One reviewer said they had to open the door themselves while others waited. They both expressed concern about delays in emergencies or for visitors needing immediate access.
Several reviewers reported cockroach problems in rooms.
Multiple reviewers described cockroaches in residents’ rooms. One review also said housekeeping attempts involved throwing out belongings without notification to family, and tied this to the pest issue. Another reviewer said a cockroach problem persisted even though the room looked clean to them.
Food shows up as a weak point in multiple reviews.
One reviewer said a diabetic family member was served the same food as everyone else and struggled to eat. Another reviewer described the food as “plain nasty,” and also criticized the overall care experience. Together, these comments suggest dining quality and dietary fit are not consistently meeting families’ expectations.
Many residents and families highlight therapy and daily activities.
Several reviews praised rehab outcomes, describing progress after short-term stays and specific attention from rehab staff. Others mentioned the therapy spaces and programming, including OT/PT and a therapy gym. Families also described activities like bingo and performances, plus church services and resident group events.
