Reviews

Residents and their families say:

This community has received high praise for its therapy department, clean facilities, and friendly, professional staff. Many reviewers specifically mentioned the excellent care their loved ones received during rehabilitation, highlighting the effectiveness of the therapy programs in achieving significant improvements in mobility and independence within the designated period, often 21 days. The activities department, particularly the events that involve both residents and their families, was also lauded for its engaging and inclusive environment. Admissions processes were noted as smooth and supportive, making transitions easier for patients and their families.
However, there was a dissenting voice that found the level of care to be sub-par, mentioning issues with the quality of meals and a perceived lack of engagement from the staff. This perspective stood in contrast to the overwhelming number of positive reviews, which consistently praised the attentiveness and compassion of the staff across various departments, including nursing, therapy, and administration. The accommodations were frequently described as spacious, clean, and well-maintained, contributing to a welcoming and comfortable environment for both short-term rehab patients and long-term residents. Despite the single negative comment, the positive experiences shared by many suggest a community committed to the well-being and satisfaction of its residents and their families.
