Cleanliness and food quality show up

Serious concerns about safety and respect
Some reviews raise serious concerns about mistreatment, negligence, or lack of integrity.
A recurring negative theme is dissatisfaction with how patients are treated, with some reviewers alleging mistreatment, abuse, or humiliation. Several comments cite serious problems such as negligence or medication errors, and others describe a negative atmosphere when visiting. These concerns appear repeatedly enough that families are clearly being warned to verify the care experience for themselves.
