Reviews

Residents and their families say:

This community is highly praised for its attentive and kind staff, clean environment, and wide range of services including skilled nursing, physical therapy (PT), and wound treatment. Many reviewers emphasized the sense of love and teamwork present among the staff, noting how it contributes to an amazing culture and atmosphere that feels like family. The facility's dedication to patient care was frequently highlighted, with specific commendations for staff across various departments, from nurses and Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs) to the social services team. The efficient and helpful administration was also noted, with an appreciation for their accessibility and the personalized care plans developed for residents.
However, not all feedback was positive. One reviewer expressed concerns about the integrity of the staff, suggesting that there is a culture of covering up and dishonesty among the workforce, though this was not a widely reported issue. Additionally, this reviewer encouraged others to use their voices to demand quality care, suggesting some dissatisfaction with the overall experience. Such criticisms were, however, in the minority, with most feedback focusing on the positive aspects of the community, including the facility's cleanliness, the quality of care provided, and the friendly and dedicated staff. The sense of community, along with the comprehensive care and support offered, positions this facility as a preferred choice for many families and individuals seeking skilled nursing services.
