    Compassionate staff but safety concerns

    I am grateful for the overwhelmingly kind, attentive staff - nurses, CNAs and therapists went above and beyond and made my loved one feel like family; rehab (Devon, Jerrell) and nursing care were excellent and recovery-focused. The facility is clean, welcoming, close to Mercy Hospital, and well coordinated, but the building is older, meals and amenities could improve, and staffing/supervision issues and a few serious safety concerns gave me pause. Overall I recommend it for the compassionate, capable staff - just stay vigilant about care oversight.
