Reviews

Residents and their families say:

This community has garnered a mix of feedback from various reviewers, showcasing many positive aspects while acknowledging certain areas in need of improvement. Positive remarks frequently highlight the clean and welcoming environment of the facility, the knowledge and responsiveness of the nurses, and the overall compassionate and dedicated staff. Specifically, the management team, including administrators and the Director of Nursing, have been praised for their diligent work in building a strong managerial staff and ensuring that patients receive excellent care. Numerous reviewers have commended the facility for its ability to create a family-like atmosphere, with one visitor noting that despite its large size, everyone from admissions to the administrative staff and nurses seems genuinely caring and committed to the well-being of residents. The activities director and a member of the dietary team were also mentioned positively, reflecting a broad satisfaction with the services provided across various departments.
However, not all experiences have been positive, with one particular incident involving a patient’s transfer from another hospital for rehab, only to experience what was perceived as neglect, resulting in health deterioration and complicated discharge processes. This review highlighted concerns around communication with family members, care quality, and an overall feeling of the patient being treated more like a prisoner than a resident in need of rehabilitation. Such instances of dissatisfaction, although less frequent in the feedback collected, underscore the importance of consistent care quality and effective communication between the facility’s staff and the families of residents. Despite these concerns, the brighter spots of this community, as reflected in the majority of the feedback, suggest a place where many staff members are sincerely involved in their work and where many residents and their families have had positive experiences.
