Reviews

Residents and their families say:

The community in discussion has garnered a variety of positive feedback, highlighting several aspects of care and facilities that stand out. Primarily, the dedication and hard work of the staff are frequently mentioned, with special acknowledgment for the comprehensive measures taken to ensure safety and health standards, such as stringent COVID-19 precautions and ensuring all visitors and staff comply with the health protocols. There’s a notable appreciation for the receptionist, who, despite the pressure and workload, goes above and beyond in her duties to ensure patient safety, which includes tasks not typically within her role. The commitment of the physical therapy and wound care teams has also been positively reviewed, with their professionalism and support being a significant factor in patients' recovery processes.
The community's environment and administrative efforts have been praise-worthy as well. Users noted the cleanliness and friendliness of the setting, making a strong positive statement about the overall ambiance and operational standards. The adamant efforts of certain administrators in facilitating the transition of patients from less desirable circumstances to the community have been life-changing for some, emphasizing hope and efficient care. Despite a few mentions of nighttime staff being less responsive and an isolated complaint about unprofessional behavior and treatment from specific employees, the majority sentiment veers towards satisfaction and gratitude towards the staff and services provided.
However, alongside the commendations, there are critiques as well, most notably the experiences of a few individuals with regards to staff responsiveness during the night and perceived unprofessional behavior from particular staff members. Yet, these concerns do not overshadow the outpour of positive feedback, especially concerning the hands-on care, administration’s proactive role, and a general sense of respect and professionalism that seems to pervade the community. The varied stories of recovery, support, and comprehensive care circle back to the community’s ability to address and meet the diverse needs of its residents.
