Trouble reaching help, slow responses
Some reviewers report delays in getting help and difficulty reaching staff.
While many people describe good communication, several negative reviews say calls go unanswered for long periods, phones are unreliable, or responses to call bells can be very slow. Some reviews also describe problems getting timely assistance with basic needs, including medication and assistance related to comfort and meals. These complaints stand in contrast to the many reviews that describe attentive, communicative care.
