Reviews

Residents and their families say:

This community has received numerous positive reviews praising its high level of care, cleanliness, and the family-like atmosphere created by the staff. Many reviewers highlighted the kindness, thoroughness, and professionalism of the staff, mentioning that both the nursing and therapy teams go above and beyond in their duties. The facility is consistently described as clean, with one reviewer specifically noting that it never smells like a typical nursing home, a testament to the diligent housekeeping staff. The physical therapy program received special mention for its effectiveness and the exceptional care provided by therapists such as Tony Alardin, who was recognized for his dedication and effort in assisting residents beyond his professional obligations.
However, the community is not without its criticisms, but specifics are less frequently mentioned and do not detract significantly from the otherwise glowing reviews. The negative aspects, if any, were not reiterated enough by multiple reviewers to warrant specific focus in this summary. Several reviewers also expressed a strong sense of community, describing the staff as like a second family and praising the executive director for fostering an open and supportive environment. The sense of community extends to the residents, with reviewers noting that their family members feel at home and well-cared-for. This sense of belonging, coupled with the high standards of care and cleanliness, makes this community highly recommended by many who have had personal or family experiences with the facility.
