Reviews

Residents and their families say:

This community has received mixed reviews, with many highlighting the exceptional work of the physical therapy team. Numerous patients have experienced significant improvements in their mobility and strength thanks to the dedicated and respectful therapists. Success stories range from patients regaining the ability to walk after extended periods of immobility to learning new physical capabilities they never thought possible. The therapy department, often mentioned with praise, is seen as the facility's standout feature, providing motivation and fun during rehabilitation sessions. The staff, including nurses and aides, has been described as helpful, kind, and attentive to patient needs, ensuring medications are delivered on time and patient care is prioritized.
However, the facility also faces criticism primarily related to staffing issues and the maintenance of the facility. One reviewer pointed out the concerning wait times for essential care, such as ostomy bag changes, attributing this to being understaffed, especially noted during the COVID-19 pandemic. There were also complaints about the facility’s inability to accommodate special dietary needs and reports of pest issues. Despite these concerns, there are acknowledgments of efforts by some staff members trying their best under challenging circumstances. The new ownership has been recognized for improvements, making the place cleaner and more accommodating, alongside a commendable and friendly staff.
