Reviews

Residents and their families say:

This community has received positive feedback for various aspects of its care and environment. Reviewers have appreciated the efforts to accommodate dietary preferences, especially highlighting the manager's attempt to provide dishes appealing to those not accustomed to Southern food. The cleanliness of the facility is consistently commended, with daily housekeeping noted for its diligence in dusting, sweeping, and mopping. The caring and attentive staff have been recognized for treating residents like family, ensuring patients are always clean and respected. Many have expressed gratitude for the medical care provided, specifically mentioning the presence of a fantastic doctor serving as the medical director and the promptness in addressing health emergencies by sending residents to the hospital when necessary.
However, there are areas needing improvement. One negative aspect mentioned concerns the attitude of some workers, including nurses, towards the patients. It was noted that, although not all staff members share this demeanor, a significant portion does, affecting the overall satisfaction with the care received. Despite these criticisms, the positive experiences shared by several reviewers, including the special efforts made by staff and the sense of it feeling more like a home than a nursing facility, suggest a deeply caring and committed environment.
