Residents and their families say:

This community has garnered numerous positive reviews for its cleanliness, caring, and friendly staff, and the quality of care provided to residents. Many reviewers highlighted the excellent cleanliness of the facility, the professionalism, warmth, and helpfulness of the staff, ranging from the front desk to therapists, nurses, and CNAs. There's consistent praise for the responsiveness and communicative nature of the team concerning resident progress and family updates, which includes detailed discussions on rehabilitation and healing processes. Visitors and family members felt reassured by the attentive and respectful treatment their loved ones received. The facility's adherence to COVID-19 protocols and safety measures also received commendation, emphasizing the community's commitment to patient and staff safety.
However, there were some areas of dissatisfaction mentioned. Multiple reviews critiqued the quality and responsiveness of the kitchen and meal services, describing instances of unsatisfactory meals and lack of accommodation for dietary preferences or mistakes. The shared accommodations, particularly the four-person rooms, were also a point of discomfort for some residents, though it was mentioned infrequently compared to the overwhelming positive commentary. Despite these criticisms, the sense of community, professional care, and notably clean environment were standout features that contributed to the high recommendation of this facility by most reviewers.
