    Compassionate staff but inconsistent care

    I placed my mother here and my experience was mixed. Many staff-especially PT/OT and several nurses-were compassionate, professional, and the facility, grounds and activities are pleasant. But nursing seemed understaffed and sometimes unresponsive (long call-button delays), cleanliness and smells were issues, the food was often poor, and COVID outbreaks and questionable rehab/discharge decisions caused setbacks. I'm grateful for the therapy and some outstanding staff, but would only recommend this place with close oversight and clear expectations.
