Reviews

Residents and their families say:

This community has garnered attention for its dedicated and caring staff, with many reviewers highlighting the compassionate and attentive nature of the caretakers, nurses, aides, and therapy team. The new administration has been credited with implementing positive changes, leading to improvements in patient care and overall community feel. The therapy team, in particular, has been praised for their exceptional efforts in helping patients reach their recovery goals, whether for short-term rehabilitation or long-term care, focusing on helping residents maintain the highest level of function and independence possible. The community's cleanliness, brightly painted hallways, and the general atmosphere of positivity have also been noted, along with a commendable staff appreciation program and a strong survey history with the state.
However, amidst the praise, there have been significant concerns raised by some reviewers. Issues such as delayed medications, unanswered calls, unreturned voicemails, and a lack of timely personal care, including instances of residents being left in discomfort for extended periods, have tarnished the overall experience for some. One particularly distressing account involved a lack of communication leading up to a resident's death, further emphasizing the need for timely and compassionate communication. Despite these critical points, many agree that the staff's caring nature and the recent improvements under new management make this community a potentially recommendable option for those seeking rehabilitation or long-term care.
