This community has garnered numerous positive comments from visitors, family members, and patients, praising the quality of both the care and the staff. Reviewers frequently mentioned the attentive and professional demeanor of the staff, highlighting their compassion and commitment to providing quality care.

The nursing care also received high praise for being exemplary, with personal stories shared about how staff members went above and beyond to ensure comfort and well-being.
However, there were some concerns raised by reviewers as well. The main issues mentioned included the responsiveness and availability of nurses, with some indicating a delay in answering call lights or a perceived lack of attentiveness at times. The quality of the meals was another point of criticism, as several reviewers noted either their loved one’s dissatisfaction with the food or specific dietary needs not being met as expected. Additionally, the cleanliness of the facility, particularly regarding personal spaces and bedding, was cited as a concern in a few instances.
