View additional context from reviews
Critical feedback often centers on administrative issues, such as communication breakdowns, billing problems, and disorganization during intake or discharge. Some reviewers felt the program was too rigid or that certain rules were inconsistently enforced.
Tip: A recurring theme in negative reviews is a feeling of being treated like a 'number' rather than an individual. It's advisable to communicate needs clearly with staff and case managers.
