Reviews

Residents and their families say:

This community is commended for its dedicated and efficient service, especially noted for its friendly, proficient, and helpful staff, including physicians, physician assistants, nurses, social workers, and physical therapists. Reviews highlighted the strong personal interest and care the staff showed towards patients, making their stays as beneficial and pleasant as possible. The provision of around-the-clock nursing care and the ability to administer IVs were specifically appreciated, as well as the daily engagement in physical therapy for patients. The facility's cleanliness was praised, along with the attentiveness to maintaining a tidy environment. The community was also recognized for its efforts to accommodate dietary preferences and substitutes, despite some feedback on the general quality of nursing home food. Family and friends visiting policies during pandemic precautions were appreciated, enhancing the communication and overall experience for both patients and their families.
However, several critiques were mentioned, including the infrequent visits by assigned doctors, the departure of a notable head nurse, and the outdated heating and air conditioning system that sometimes made temperature regulation uncomfortable. Despite these points, the community's overall atmosphere of care, the variety of meal options available, and the personal testimonials of those who experienced significant improvements in their or their loved one's conditions underscore the positive impact of the community. The personal recommendations and expressions of gratitude towards the staff from patients and their families further cement the community's reputation as a supportive and effective facility for post-acute services.
