Reviews

Residents and their families say:

This community has received numerous praises from family members of patients who have experienced the care provided during rehabilitation stays. Many testimonials highlight the professionalism, compassion, and exceptional care delivered by the nursing staff, physical therapists, receptionists, culinary staff, social workers, and administrators. Patients and their families felt genuinely cared for, mentioning specifically how staff members went above and beyond in their duties, which significantly contributed to the positive rehabilitation experiences. The staff's knowledgeability, helpfulness, and ability to make patients feel comfortable and valued were frequently noted, with individual tales of extraordinary acts of kindness that made significant impacts on the patients' recovery journeys.
However, amidst the glowing reviews, there has been mention of recent low star ratings, though these were not specifically detailed in the testimonials provided. It seems these concerns were not widely echoed or elaborated upon by multiple reviewers, suggesting they might represent isolated experiences rather than widespread issues. The readiness of the staff to address questions, the facility's good condition, and the overall positive atmosphere and effective rehabilitation services were repeatedly underscored, suggesting a strong level of satisfaction with the care provided. The community's ability to make both patients and their visiting family members feel welcomed and supported was a recurring theme, underpinning the trust and comfort many felt with choosing this facility for care needs.
