Several residents and family members describe positive experiences with physical therapy and occupational therapy, often tying it to progress after falls, surgery, or other injuries.

A few reviews also describe issues beyond response times, such as missed or late care needs and long gaps between checks. Residents and families who had more positive experiences still mention staff being attentive, but these negative accounts point to care timing problems for certain stays.
