Devonshire Care Center is recognized for its supportive rehabilitation services and personal care, especially in physical therapy. However, the facility faces challenges related to nursing care consistency and administrative communication. While individual staff members are often praised for their friendliness and dedication, systemic issues such as understaffing, especially on weekends, and mismanaged communication with caseworkers have been noted. Some residents have reported that medical care needs, such as proper medication management, were occasionally neglected. Despite these challenges, the staff's handling of crises, such as the pandemic, demonstrates a capacity for organized management under pressure. The center strives to offer a supportive and clean environment, which many residents appreciate, but there remains a cautious trust in the consistency and responsiveness of the care provided.
