Review Summary
The following is an AI generated summary of the reviews of the community from across the web.
Reviews of Preferred Care reveal a mixed bag of experiences. Some reviewers express satisfaction with the cleanliness, cheerful atmosphere, and the care provided to their loved ones. They commend the staff for being helpful, sweet, and attentive, and note that the food is acceptable. Activities and therapy staff, in particular, receive praise for making residents feel loved, comfortable, and entertained.
However, there are significant concerns raised by others. Complaints include unresponsive and uncaring staff, inadequate rehabilitative care, and issues with meal provision. Some reviewers report alarming incidents of neglect, such as patients being left unattended for long periods, receiving medication not prescribed by their doctors, and experiencing a lack of dignity and respect. The facility's response to these concerns, or lack thereof, has also been criticized.
While some residents and their families have had positive experiences, highlighted by effective therapy, clean facilities, and engaging activities, others describe their stay as traumatic, citing poor care, safety concerns, and a lack of compassion from some staff members. The inconsistency in experiences suggests that while Preferred Care has the potential to offer a supportive and caring environment, there are areas that urgently need improvement to ensure the well-being of all residents.
