Reviews

Residents and their families say:

This community has garnered numerous positive reviews, most notably for its caring and compassionate staff who are seen as going above and beyond for both residents and their families. Many reviewers have praised the staff's exceptional support and kindness, particularly during challenging times such as the final days of a loved one's life or throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. The facility itself is frequently described as clean, beautiful, and well-maintained, with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The sense of community among staff and residents alike is often highlighted, with one reviewer even sharing a letter of gratitude for the teamwork and dedication observed during their employment, reflecting on the respectful and loving care provided to residents.
However, not all feedback was exclusively positive. There were repeated concerns regarding business practices, particularly from the corporate office, including a specific issue where a lease agreement was reportedly not honored, leading to significant distress for a resident’s family. This scenario was mentioned by multiple reviewers, marking a stark contrast to the otherwise glowing descriptions of staff and on-site care. Additionally, while the staff was generally commended for their dedication, there were isolated mentions of gaps in services, such as missed meals for residents with memory issues and insufficient attention to specialized dietary needs. Despite these criticisms, the majority sentiment reflects a deep appreciation for the community's efforts to provide a supportive and respectful environment for both residents and their families.
