Reviews

Residents and their families say:

This community receives high praise for its cleanliness, friendly and helpful staff, and the wide range of activities available for residents, including holiday-themed events, an ice cream parlor, bingo, petting zoo days, and wheelchair aerobics. Reviewers frequently mention the professionalism and kindness of the staff, noting that they are very attentive and keep family members well-informed about their loved ones' care and involvement in various activities. The community is described as beautiful and inviting, with several reviewers highlighting their positive experiences visiting friends and family members, as well as the pleasant atmosphere and efficient, compassionate care provided.
Despite many positive reviews, there are some areas of concern mentioned by a few reviewers. One notable issue is with the food quality, which at least one reviewer thinks could be improved. Another set of comments pertains to the management and communication about residents' health status and care needs. There was also a mention of a safety concern regarding a resident's transportation and a lack of notification about a fall, indicating some lapses in communication and procedural safety. However, such criticisms seem to be outweighed by the numerous commendations regarding the facility's cleanliness, the staff's caring nature, and the engaging environment provided for the residents.
