Reviews

Residents and their families say:

This community has received high praise for its exceptional staff and quality of care, with multiple reviewers remarking on the attentive, warm, and welcoming nature of the staff members. Patients and visitors alike have noted the clean environment, professional personnel, safety measures, and the quick, caring response to concerns. The rehabilitation services, including both physical and occupational therapy, have been highlighted as outstanding, with specific acknowledgment of the dedicated therapists and the positive impact of the therapy dog, Sassy. The food quality and the ability to make special food requests have also been positively mentioned, adding to the overall satisfaction with the amenities provided. Activities provided for the patients are seen as beneficial and enjoyable, making their stay more pleasant.
Despite the overwhelmingly positive feedback, there is a notable consensus on the need for renovations and updates to the building to enhance its appeal and comfort further. Suggestions for improvements include new flooring, painting, and new furniture, which would complement the already excellent service provided by the staff. While the building's condition was a point of critique, it did not detract from the overall high regard for the caring and professional service received at this community. The community is recommended by many for its comprehensive care, responsiveness, and the personal touch provided by its staff, despite the need for some updates to its physical environment.
