Reviews
Valleyhaven receives strong praise for frontline staff kindness, activities programming, and quality nutrition care. However, one detailed review raises serious concerns about management's exclusion of family members from care planning and decision-making, particularly regarding residents with cognitive decline, and lack of responsiveness to family requests for involvement.
