    Review Summary

    The following is an AI generated summary of the reviews of the community from across the web.

    Reviews of various senior living and rehabilitation facilities present a mixed picture, with experiences ranging from highly positive to deeply concerning. Some reviewers praised the politeness and helpfulness of nurses and aides, noting improvements in food quality over time and the professionalism of therapy staff. A few highlighted the cleanliness of the facilities and the caring nature of the staff, describing their stays as comfortable and the rehabilitation services as effective.

    However, numerous reviews raised serious issues, including inadequate staffing, poor communication, and neglectful care. Concerns were voiced about residents not receiving proper medical attention, such as incorrect or missed medication and unapproved surgeries. Reports of unresponsive management, difficulty in contacting or visiting loved ones, and a lack of basic amenities like working phones or clean rooms were common. Some reviewers recounted distressing interactions with staff and other residents, including instances of verbal abuse and physical altercations.

    Several reviewers criticized the facilities for a lack of engagement and rehabilitation activities for residents, with some noting a visible decline in their loved ones' conditions during their stay. Complaints about the quality of food, room maintenance, and overall cleanliness were also mentioned, alongside allegations of theft and mistreatment.

    While some facilities were described as undergoing improvements and renovations under new management, the overall sentiment from many reviews suggests a need for significant changes in staff training, resident care, and facility management to ensure the safety and well-being of all residents.
