    Outstanding therapy, but inconsistent overall

    I had a mixed experience at Ardent. The therapy was outstanding and many nurses, CNAs and administrators were kind, helpful and went above and beyond - my room was clean and rehab got me walking again. But care was inconsistent: night shift responses and call lights were slow, meds and hygiene were sometimes neglected, and there were safety and communication failures (falls, missing resident, poor notification). Food, staffing shortages and building issues were recurring problems - I'd recommend it for short-term rehab but would be cautious about long-term or respite stays.
