Residents and their families say:

This community has received a mix of feedback from residents and their families. Positive remarks highlight the friendly and professional staff, the cleanliness of the facility, the quality of the food, and a wide range of activities and events that cater to the residents' social, physical, and spiritual needs. Many reviewers expressed appreciation for the dedicated care provided, noting that staff often treated residents with respect, dignity, and compassion, making them feel at home. The rehabilitation services were praised for helping residents regain independence, with specific mentions of the nursing and therapy teams being personable and professional. The community atmosphere was described as family-like, with many thanking the staff for their exceptional service and care.
However, several concerns were raised, causing distress among some residents and their families. Issues included delays in medication delivery, under-staffing, poor communication from the staff regarding the health and well-being of the residents, and a lack of attention to residents' needs, such as hygiene and dietary requirements. There were instances where residents felt ignored or neglected, with some reports of not receiving timely medical assistance, which in one case led to a lack of proper care for pneumonia. Complaints about room conditions, like chipped paint and a broken furnace, were mentioned alongside dissatisfaction with meal service and adherence to dietary restrictions. Despite these negatives, many families chose this community due to its higher standards compared to others and have seen their loved ones improve significantly during their stay.
