Reviews

Residents and their families say:

This community receives high praise for its cleanliness, caring staff, and family-oriented atmosphere. Reviewers frequently commend the dedication, professionalism, and kindness of the staff, ranging from the nursing team to the occupational and physical therapists, who are acknowledged for providing excellent care and treatment. Many express gratitude for the personalized attention their loved ones receive, highlighting moments of compassion such as staff tucking residents in at night and assuring them of their safety and love. The communal spirit, comprehensive care, and the capacity of the staff to treat residents like family contribute significantly to the peace of mind of family members. Additionally, the facility is noted for its attractive setting and the professionalism of both the healthcare and social services teams, which are recognized for going above and beyond in their duties.
However, there are some concerns mentioned across reviews. The size and layout of the rooms, particularly shared ones, are noted as cramped, making it difficult for residents to store personal items and for roommates to navigate the space around each other's belongings. There's also mention of a serious medication error and complaints about the handling of a resident's belongings post-discharge, pointing to issues with administrative competence and communication. These negative experiences, albeit fewer compared to the abundance of positive feedback, suggest areas where this community could focus on improvements to match the high standards of care and compassion that are otherwise consistently praised.
