Reviews

Residents and their families say:

This community has received numerous positive reviews from residents and their families, praising its high standard of care, friendly and dedicated staff, and clean environment. Many reviewers highlighted the compassionate nature of the staff across various departments including nursing, CNAs, kitchen staff, business office staff, laundry and housekeepers, noting that their positive attitude contributes significantly to the healing atmosphere. Personal anecdotes shared in the reviews often mentioned staff members by name, illustrating their willingness to go above and beyond their duties by engaging in activities such as musical therapy, taking residents to church, and even personal gestures of kindness like gifting a ukulele to a patient. The food quality was frequently commended, with one reviewer mentioning a registered dietitian who worked to adjust menus to individual preferences, ensuring enjoyable meals. The facilities, including the rooms and grounds, were consistently described as well-kept and clean, creating a comfortable and welcoming environment for recovery and rehabilitation.
However, not all experiences were entirely positive. A significant concern raised by one reviewer related to a safety issue where a resident fell and suffered an injury during their first day, leading to worries about potential neglect. This particular review also mentioned an unpleasant smell and a lack of timely maintenance in the resident's personal area. Despite these criticisms, the overarching sentiment among most reviews is one of gratitude and satisfaction with the care provided by this community. It's evident that the dedicated efforts of the staff, coupled with the broad range of activities and quality of facilities, contribute to a positive stay or recovery experience for many residents and their families, though it’s also clear that attention to safety procedures and cleanliness needs to be continuously upheld and improved upon where necessary.
