I had a situation with one of their employees and the administrator acted promptly and appropriately to the unfortunate incident. I would recommend The Whole Person though I can’t give a full five stars because the incident did occur and I can’t ignore that. But I am confident that they are acting on it and that the person involved will be appropriately disciplined.
