Reviews

Residents and their families say:

This community has garnered positive feedback from many reviewers who have had personal or familial experiences with its services. The kindness, professionalism, and attentiveness of the staff have been frequently highlighted, making a significant positive impact on the patients' recovery and overall experience. Many reviewers have praised the community for its caring and competent staff, efficient management, and the ability to make patients feel welcomed and cared for. The community's commitment to providing high-quality care and rehabilitation services has led to numerous stories of significant improvement in patients' health, from those unable to walk regaining mobility to patients returning to eating normally after being on a feeding tube. The cleanliness of the facility and the variety of activities available for patients were also points of appreciation, contributing to a positive and holistic healing environment.
Despite the overwhelming positivity, a few areas for improvement were noted, such as the handling of visitors and specific requests related to dietary preferences which suggest room for enhancing the culinary offerings, especially for those with a love for vegetables. Also, concerns about the sanitary practice of sharing a phone among patients on the second floor were raised, indicating a need for a review of certain protocols to ensure all health standards are met. However, it's noteworthy that these issues were not widely reported across the reviews, indicating they might be isolated incidents rather than widespread problems.
In summary, the community has earned high marks for its exceptional staff, from medical to maintenance, and its ability to foster a caring and proficient care environment. Positive experiences far outweigh the negatives, with many reviewers expressing gratitude and recommending the facility for both rehab and long-term care. The community's ethos of respect, professionalism, and dedication to patient welfare shines through, making it a preferred choice for many families seeking quality care for their loved ones.
