Reviews

Residents and their families say:

This community receives high praise for its exceptional staff and personalized care for its residents. Many reviewers credit the community's teams, from nurses and CNAs to administrative personnel, for going above and beyond in delivering healthcare, support, and kindness. The staff's willingness to address concerns and questions readily, as noted by several reviewers, reflects this community’s commitment to providing a comfortable and caring environment. Activities, social events, and rehabilitation services also receive positive mentions, highlighting the community’s effort to ensure residents are engaged and well cared for. The approachability and professionalism of the staff are consistently lauded, and the results of the physical rehabilitation services are especially appreciated, with specific staff members being recognized for their dedication to residents' recovery and well-being.
However, a critical note mentioned by more than one review concerns the physical conditions of the facility, including outdated features and inadequate amenities, such as the sharing of bathrooms between rooms and infrequent showering leading to health concerns. These points of dissatisfaction, however, seem to be overshadowed by the overall positive feedback regarding the care and atmosphere of the community. The responsiveness to concerns and the immediate rectification of issues when brought to the staff's attention underscore a determination to maintain a hospitable and nurturing environment for all residents.
