Reviews

Residents and their families say:

This community has received a multitude of positive feedback from many reviewers who praised the caring and professional staff, the clean environment, and the variety of daily activities available for residents. Many have highlighted the exceptional care given to their loved ones, noting significant improvements in their conditions and the attentive, kind treatment they received. The staff's devotion, patience, and ability to maintain residents clean and neat, even in challenging units such as the dementia ward, have been particularly commended. The community's environment was described as welcoming and happy, making it stand out from typical rehabilitation or nursing homes. Families of residents appreciated the peace of mind that came from knowing their loved ones were in good hands, with some mentioning the seamless transition and communication from the staff as well as the immediate addressing of any concerns to their satisfaction.
However, there were criticisms concerning communication issues, with one reviewer mentioning difficulty in getting in touch with the staff over the phone, and another expressing concern over an incident of alleged abuse. These points of dissatisfaction, while fewer in comparison to the positives, suggest areas for improvement in communication and ensuring resident safety. Despite these concerns, the overwhelming majority of feedback reflects a community deeply committed to the well-being and care of its residents, offering a supportive and loving environment for both individuals in need of rehabilitation and long-term care.
