Reviews

Residents and their families say:

This community has received a variety of positive feedback, especially highlighting the recent changes and improvements. There is strong appreciation for the new management and owners, with many noting the extensive renovations and the care taken to improve the facility. The commitment of the staff, described as caring and devoted, is frequently commended. Many reviewers express a particular fondness for the sense of family and teamwork within the community, with the CNAs receiving specific praise for going above and beyond in their care. The culinary and therapy departments are also mentioned positively, contributing to the overall positive living and working environment. Improvements under the new company have been well-received, making significant strides in both resident care and staff satisfaction.
However, amidst the positive reviews, there are concerns. One significant complaint involves an incident where a resident's request for a Sprite to help with an upset stomach was denied unless they could pay for it, alongside a request for pain relief being unmet. This particular point regarding perceived neglect or insensitivity by some staff members toward residents' needs raises concerns about consistent care quality, suggesting an area for potential improvement. While this complaint stands out, it's important to recognize it within the context of otherwise overwhelmingly positive feedback about the care and community spirit.
