Respect and professionalism vary

Alongside the positive experiences, multiple reviews describe interactions they considered rude, dismissive, or judgmental. Others mention concerns about how personal medical information was handled in shared spaces, or that staff behavior made the situation feel worse rather than more reassuring. A few reviewers also describe problems with staffing responsiveness, leaving comfort items unattended and care feeling incomplete at the moment they needed it.
