Reviews

Residents and their families say:

This community has garnered positive feedback from many reviewers who praise the friendly and caring nature of the staff, the cleanliness of the facility, and the high quality of both nursing and rehabilitation care. The therapy teams receive special mentions for their excellence, and the nursing staff is described as seasoned professionals who have become like family to the residents. Reviewers appreciate the efforts made to overcome the facility's past reputation, with one noting the remarkable progress and improvement in standards. The food generally receives positive comments, with specific meals being enjoyed by the residents, although there is a mention of dissatisfaction with the preparation of some vegetable sides.
Communication between staff and family members is highlighted as a strong point, with regular updates and responsiveness to questions and concerns. The personalized care and attention to detail, including adjustments to therapy and medication, have left family members feeling reassured about the care their loved ones receive. The facility is noted for being clean, though there is an isolated complaint about the cleanliness of certain areas and the state of the building itself, which some found to be a bit worn. Despite these minor grievances, the testimonials underscore the commitment of the staff to the wellbeing of the residents, making it a preferred choice for rehabilitation and care.
Although a majority of the feedback is overwhelmingly positive, it's worth acknowledging a few criticisms regarding room sizes and the overall physical state of the building. Additionally, there are comments about the need for improvements in the introductory process for new residents and clearer communication at the onset of care. These points of criticism, however, are few compared to the numerous accounts of satisfaction with the level of care, the kindness and professionalism of the staff, and the facility's overall atmosphere of warmth and support.
