Reviews

Residents and their families say:

This community has garnered a fair share of positive feedback from residents and their families, highlighting its cleanliness, caring staff, and the range of activities available. Many reviewers express gratitude for the attention and care their loved ones receive, noting instances where staff went above and beyond to ensure comfort and care, particularly after hospital visits or surgeries. The facility is praised for being welcoming to first-time visitors, offering a comforting and homey atmosphere, and ensuring that the needs of residents with advanced Dementia and Alzheimer's are met with love and patience. The staff's dedication, especially in the Walden Way unit, is noted as remarkable, with their respectful and caring attitude towards residents making a significant impact on the families.
However, not all feedback is glowing. A few criticisms include a perceived understaffing issue, particularly in the memory care unit, and concerns over the level of engagement and care provided to the residents. These points, though not widespread across all the reviews, suggest areas where some families feel improvements could be made. Despite these concerns, the positive aspects such as the facility's environment, the staff's professionalism, and the effectiveness of the rehabilitation services are recurrent themes in the feedback.
The sense of community and the importance of keeping families involved and informed about their loved ones' care are recurring positive notes. Activities like 'SPA day' for residents who dislike showering and efforts to make festive occasions special are particularly appreciated. The engagement of specific staff members in creating an enjoyable atmosphere for residents, and the efforts to ensure that the facility feels like home, reflects a commitment to providing a quality living space for its residents. Despite the minor criticisms related to staffing and care levels, the heartfelt thanks from family members to the staff for their care and dedication shine through, indicating a deeply valued and positive impact on their loved ones' lives.
