Reviews

Residents and their families say:

The reviews for this community reflect a high level of satisfaction from residents and their families about the care and environment provided. Many praised the staff for being courteous, attentive, professional, and kind, creating a loving atmosphere that feels like a second home. Families are impressed with the quality of care, noting improvements in their loved ones' health and well-being. The facility is also commended for its clean and pleasant environment, even during renovations, and for its efforts to meet residents' needs thoroughly. Activities directors and social services are particularly highlighted for their significant positive impact on residents' lives.
However, there are some concerns mentioned by reviewers that need attention. One pointed out that nurses seemed to be too focused on computer work, leaving less time for direct patient interaction, which led to a desire for more hands-on care. Another comment mentioned a need for the facility to streamline its processes to reduce redundancy, particularly concerning questions and medication reaction protocols. Despite these areas of improvement, the sentiment is overwhelmingly positive, with a strong appreciation for the staff's dedication and the warm, familial atmosphere of the facility.
