Residents and their families say:

This community has garnered ample praise for its warm, homelike atmosphere and the caring, compassionate nature of its staff. Reviewers frequently mention the dedication and professionalism of the team, including various departments such as nursing, therapy, dietary, and the cleaning staff, highlighting their collective efforts in contributing to a positive and supportive environment for both residents and their families. The facility is commended for its cleanliness, lack of typical nursing home odors, quality of food, and the exceptional condition of the grounds. Many have observed significant improvements in the health and happiness of their loved ones or themselves following stays at this facility, attributing these advancements to the skillful and considerate care provided by the staff. The integration of physical therapy and the noticeable results achieved in rehabilitation cases have been particularly lauded, with both short-term and long-term residents expressing appreciation for the support and progress experienced during their time there.
However, amidst the sweeping commendation, a few detractors shared concerns about the work environment, including accusations of unprofessional behavior among some members of the management and staff, such as creation of false reports, fostering a toxic work environment, and practices that may instill fear among the employees regarding speaking out. While these negative points are noted, they do not overshadow the overwhelming majority of positive feedback regarding the quality of care, the cleanliness of the facility, and the friendly, encouraging atmosphere that seems to pervade the experiences of most who come into contact with this community. Complaints of this nature seem to be isolated rather than widespread, suggesting that for many, the positive attributes of this community significantly outweigh the negatives.
