Reviews

Residents and their families say:

This community is well-regarded for the kindness and attentiveness of its staff, with many reviewers highlighting the exceptional care provided by both the nursing and therapy departments. The positive impact on residents' rehabilitation and recovery is frequently mentioned, with one reviewer noting the remarkable turnaround from a previous negative experience at another facility to feeling safe and happy here. The community's efforts to create a welcoming and clean environment, particularly noted during festive seasons, along with the personalized care and motivation offered by the staff, contribute significantly to the overall satisfaction expressed by most reviewers. The presence of private rooms, despite needing updates, and the facility's success in maintaining a COVID-free environment at critical times were also praised, enhancing the community's appeal to those seeking rehabilitation services.
However, some areas for improvement were identified, particularly regarding the handling of pain medications at night and the responsiveness of the case management team. These concerns were echoed by a few reviewers who faced challenges with timely communication and felt that the case management could be more engaged and responsive. Additionally, while the food received mixed reviews, with some meals described as remarkably good, others felt it had room for improvement, echoing a common sentiment about hospital food in general. The staffing levels during weekends were also a concern, reflecting a broader issue within the healthcare sector.
Despite these criticisms, the overwhelming majority of feedback highlights the community's strengths, including the dedication of its therapy teams and the compassionate care provided by its nursing staff. Personal acknowledgments of staff members going above and beyond for residents were common, underscoring the facility's commitment to high-quality care and the significant impact it has on the well-being of its residents. This strong sense of community and support, alongside the tangible results seen in residents' rehabilitation, underpins the high regard in which this facility is held by those it serves.
