Reviews

Residents and their families say:

This community's emergency room has garnered praise for its professional, kind, and communicative staff. Several reviewers highlighted the compassionate and exceptional care provided by nurses and doctors during their visits for various emergencies, including severe conditions like swine flu, asthma attacks, concussions, and unexpected stays. One reviewer specifically appreciated a nurse's comfort and assistance during a highly stressful visit, describing the nurse as a compassionate angel. Another positive aspect mentioned was the staff's ability to identify medical issues that had been missed by others, potentially saving lives with their diligent care and professionalism. The facility's environment, while noted by one reviewer as in need of updating, was overshadowed by the high-quality care received.
However, not all experiences were without fault. A few reviews mentioned significant wait times, with one individual reporting over an hour wait outside before receiving attention for critical conditions like an asthma attack and a concussion. Despite these criticisms, the sense of relief and gratitude for the care provided was a consistent theme, with patients feeling very fortunate for the facility's presence in the community. The positive experiences, marked by the staff's attentiveness, expertise, and kindness, greatly contributed to patients' overall satisfaction, emphasizing the emergency room's role as a reliable and valuable health resource.
