Reviews

Residents and their families say:

This community received mixed reviews from the residents' families and friends, highlighting both strengths and areas for improvement. Positive comments frequently praised the dedicated and caring staff, the cleanliness of the facility, and the professional and compassionate care provided to residents. Many reviewers were particularly pleased with the consistent and familiar nursing staff, the excellent rehabilitation services, and the overall friendliness and helpfulness of everyone in the community. Therapists were commended for their role in helping residents regain mobility and improve their health, significantly enhancing their quality of life. The community's efforts to make residents and their families feel welcome and cared for did not go unnoticed, with specific mentions of the warm greetings from staff and their continuous support and engagement.
However, some reviewers voiced significant concerns about the level of medical care, staff communication, and staffing levels, suggesting that these aspects negatively impacted the care their loved ones received. A recurring theme in the negative feedback was the apparent shortfall in adequate staffing, which, according to some, led to delayed responses to residents' needs and general care issues, such as untreated high blood pressure and inadequate management of a feeding tube. There was also criticism about the facility's communication, with some family members feeling misled about the services offered, particularly in the realm of rehabilitation hours and overall medical care. Despite the acclaim for the therapy department, these negative experiences highlight critical areas for improvement, especially in ensuring sufficient staffing and fostering better communication between the community's team and the residents' families.
