Reviews

Residents and their families say:

This community has been lauded for its impressive range of amenities, including well-maintained gardens, delicious food options, and a diverse array of activities. Many reviews highlighted the dedication and hard work of the staff, noting their attentiveness to residents' needs, knowledge of their habits and personalities, and their responsiveness all the way up to the CEO level. The skilled nursing care, both during and outside the challenging times of the pandemic, received high praise for maintaining safety, creating innovative ways for safe activities and visitations, and delivering high-quality care under pressure. Personal stories shared in reviews spoke to the community's ability to provide exceptional rehabilitation services, manage complex medical needs with compassion, and offer a sense of safety and comfort to residents and their families. The community was commended for its ability to create a homely and inclusive environment, encouraging participation in activities and facilitating a smooth transition for new residents.
However, certain reviews did point out areas needing improvement. Concerns were raised about the nursing staff and aides, highlighting instances where the quality of care did not meet expectations, specifically mentioning delays in assistance with personal care. Complaint resolution and management communication were also noted as areas for enhancement. The process for filing complaints and the approachability of management staff were cited as particularly frustrating for some family members. Additionally, a few reviewers mentioned the facility's appearance and amenities as somewhat dated compared to others, and concerns about parking availability further detracted from the overall experience for visitors. Despite these criticisms, positive experiences, particularly regarding the compassionate and professional approach of caregivers, the facility's rigorous safety precautions during the pandemic, and the overall sense of community and belonging, overshadowed the negatives for many reviewers.
