Reviews

Residents and their families say:

This community has received a mix of feedback from visitors and residents' families. Many appreciate the clean, well-kept facilities, and the staff is frequently praised for their friendliness and attentiveness, underscoring a genuine care for residents' well-being. Activities are abundant and diverse, ensuring that residents have no downtime and plenty to keep them engaged, with special mention of an exceptional activities program led by a young gentleman. The community is recognized for providing a social, lower-maintenance way of living, particularly suitable for those who require little assistance. The meals are noted to be good, with lunch being the main meal of the day and expectations of gourmet offerings from a new vendor. Events like happy hours and outings add to the community's appeal, along with the accommodation for family visits, even under strict conditions such as during hospice care or pandemic restrictions, showcasing their effort to maintain connections between residents and their loved ones.
However, there are concerns regarding the level of care for those whose needs are more intensive, with reports of residents being discharged abruptly as their care levels exceed what the community can provide. Communication within the community has been identified as an area needing improvement, as there seems to be a disconnect at times. The staff turnover, including key positions like the activities director, has been a point of contention, affecting the consistency of care and activities. Despite the generally positive remarks about staff friendliness and environmental cleanliness, some reviews suggest that the attentiveness to residents' needs could be enhanced and that the community is on the expensive side, with some noting immediate rate increases and questioning the value for the cost. Concerns were also raised about the adequacy of staffing during off-hours and the handling of residents' healthcare needs. Visitors and families considering this community are encouraged to tour and observe firsthand to determine if it meets their expectations and needs.
