    Excellent care but inconsistent staffing

    I was impressed - outstanding nurses, exceptionally kind and communicative staff, daily FaceTime updates, great rehab, delicious meals, many activities, and an immaculate, home-like facility close to home. That said, staffing and consistency can be a problem: some shifts felt understaffed, a few staff were unprofessional, and there were disturbing safety/communication lapses reported, so it's not right for everyone. Overall I'd recommend Southwood with caution - fantastic care much of the time, but ask hard questions about staffing and safety before deciding.
