Reviews

Residents and their families say:

This community has drawn disparate feedback from its residents, painting a picture of caring staff and effective rehabilitation support, yet not without its challenges. Many residents have praised the environment, highlighting the kindness, efficiency, and availability of the staff, alongside the cleanliness of their rooms. The physical therapy (PT) department, in particular, received commendations for its knowledgeable, supportive, and encouraging approach. These strengths paint this community as a preferred choice for rehabilitation needs, with several residents expressing a willingness to return if necessary.
On the flip side, there are areas that require attention. Criticisms were levied regarding the adequacy of care, with one reviewer pointing out a significant lack of attention to patients' needs, a feeling of mistrust, and a lack of respect between patients and caregivers. Although these points were not universally raised, they are notable enough to warrant mention. Additionally, multiple residents found the food quality below expectations, with the meals sometimes being unrecognizable. Interestingly, despite such criticisms, the sentiment that this community represents a step up from other facilities was expressed, implying that while there are areas for improvement, the positives—especially the staff's caring nature and the effectiveness of the PT services—leave a lasting impression on its residents.
