Reviews

Residents and their families say:

The community has received a range of feedback from those who have experienced their services directly. A significant number of reviews highlight the compassionate and attentive nature of the staff, praising them for their genuine care and the homey, welcoming atmosphere they maintain. Families and individuals appreciate the community for its clean environment, the size and personal feel of the facility, and its location which proves convenient for visiting. The positive impact of the staff's long-term commitment to the residents and the variety of activities offered to keep the residents engaged and socially active are also frequently mentioned. It's noted that the transition into assisted living, though inherently challenging, is made smoother by the supportive and listening nature of the staff.
However, amidst the largely positive comments, there are notable concerns regarding staffing levels that appear to be stretched thin, affecting the overall resident experience and care, particularly in the memory care section where the need for attentive supervision is critical. This issue of staffing has led to worries among some reviewers about the safety and well-being of residents, with observations of mobility aids not being effectively utilized. There's also an isolated mention of financial management issues related to utility payments and physical maintenance like sidewalk repairs, which, although not frequently cited, do cast a shadow on the otherwise commendable community environment.
In summary, while the community is celebrated for its dedicated staff, engaging activities, and a cozy, clean setting that makes residents feel at home, it faces criticism for apparent understaffing and the consequent impact on resident care. The management's attention to these concerns, alongside maintaining the strengths identified by numerous reviewers, could significantly enhance the living experience for current and future residents.
