Residents and their families say:

The community has received a number of positive remarks from reviewers, highlighting the caring, responsive, and efficient staff that residents and their families interact with. Many have expressed satisfaction with the level of care provided, noting that the environment is clean, well-organized, and supportive.

The facility's attention to residents' needs, including dietary accommodations, has also been mentioned positively.
However, some concerns were raised by a few reviewers. There were mentions of staffing issues, especially noted during night shifts, which seemed to impact the timeliness of medication distribution and overall responsiveness to residents' needs. Complaints about the food being cold or not adequately provided were also noted, alongside specific instances of care lapses, such as incorrect medication administration and insufficient attention to residents post-therapy. While these negative points were brought up, they did not overshadow the numerous accounts of positive experiences shared by the majority of reviewers.
