    Excellent therapy, inconsistent overnight care

    I visit regularly and have mixed feelings: the facility is warm, clean and family-like, daytime staff are caring and personable (Carla, Sabrina and Kayla stand out), activities and therapy are excellent, and my loved one improved under their care. That said, the place is clearly understaffed with high CNA turnover and inconsistent night/weekend care - delayed checks/diaper changes, lapses in responsiveness, lost clothing and occasional cleanliness issues were real problems. I've also heard and seen reports of unprofessional phone handling, management inattention, and worse allegations from others, so be cautious. Overall I'd recommend for strong daytime therapy and activities but only if you're prepared to closely monitor staffing and overnight care.
