    Caring staff, systemic problems remain

    I found many staff to be knowledgeable, kind and truly caring - nurses, CNAs and therapists who provided excellent, whole-person medical care in a clean, well-equipped facility with clear communication. However, chronic understaffing, inconsistent and sometimes unresponsive nursing, missed/partial therapy, poor record-keeping, billing/management problems and a few safety/neglect incidents (delays, bedsores) are real concerns. Because of that mix, I can't confidently recommend this place for long-term care - you may get outstanding staff, but the systemic issues are serious.
