Reviews

Residents and their families say:

This community has received a mix of reviews from its residents and their relatives. The positive aspects of the facility highlighted by several reviewers include commendations for its cleanliness, the professionalism, and the caring nature of both the nursing and physical therapy staff. Specific praise was given for how staff members helped residents with recovery, including detailed accounts of effective physical therapy and attentive nursing care. Some residents reported significant health improvements during their stay, with one individual noting a healthy weight loss facilitated by the diet provided at the facility. The rehabilitation team was frequently mentioned for their skill and patience, contributing to a highly recommended environment for recovery and care.
However, the reviews also reflected some concerns. Multiple instances were noted where the responsiveness of the staff to calls for assistance was questioned, including a specific account of a resident feeling neglected by the nursing staff. Communication issues seem to persist, as highlighted by a reviewer who experienced long wait times when trying to reach staff by phone. Another serious concern raised involves the adequacy of psychiatric support for residents needing such care, with at least one case mentioned where a resident's mental health issues were apparently overlooked. Additionally, there was confusion and dissatisfaction expressed by one reviewer regarding the facility's identity and representations online, contrasting the testimonials seen on the website with lower ratings found elsewhere. Despite these criticisms, many families expressed gratitude for the care their loved ones received, particularly emphasizing the positive impact of the staff's compassionate approach and the facility's overall environment on their recovery process.
