Reviews

Residents and their families say:

This community receives high praise for the dedication and professionalism of its staff, with special commendations for individuals who go above and beyond their job roles to ensure the well-being and comfort of the residents. Reviews highlight specific staff members for their kindness, helpfulness, and ability to build relationships with both patients and their families, often performing tasks outside of their official duties to provide care at a personal level. The therapeutic and rehab services are also well-regarded, contributing significantly to the positive changes and quick recoveries observed in residents. The environment is described as clean and welcoming, with efforts made to keep the premises sanitized and secure, especially noteworthy during the COVID-19 pandemic. Meals are appreciated for their quality, and the range of activities provided for the residents is a point of satisfaction among reviewers.
However, concerns are raised regarding the responsiveness and attitude of some staff, with particular mention of delays in service and a lack of truthful communication which appears to contrast sharply with the otherwise positive atmosphere. Issues with billing and insurance miscommunications have been noted, alongside the need for more consistent care quality when certain staff members are not present. Some reviewers expressed disappointment with the facility's infrastructure, describing it as run-down, and highlighted the need for improvement in doctor availability. Despite these concerns, many reviews emphasize the community's successful efforts to address and resolve issues, such as being attentive to feedback and taking immediate action when problems are identified.
