    Employees of Garrison express a strong sense of community and satisfaction with their work environment, highlighting the compassionate nursing team and supportive administration. The facility is described as clean, with staff attentive to both residents and their families.

    However, there are serious concerns raised in some reviews, including reports of understaffing and neglect leading to severe health issues for a resident.
