Reviews

Residents and their families say:

This community has received a generally positive response from the reviewers, particularly for its staff, facilities, and the level of care provided to the veterans. Many reviewers praised the attentive, caring nature of the staff and the quality of the facilities, highlighting the beautifully maintained premises and the high standard of the food. The respect and compassion shown towards the residents, especially in acknowledgment of their service to the country, were repeatedly commended. The efforts of various professionals within the community, including physicians, social workers, and the admission specialists, were also recognized for their genuine care and dedication. Some reviewers specifically mentioned the outstanding cleanliness of the facility and the lack of issues like unpleasant odors, which are often concerns in such environments.
Despite the overwhelmingly positive feedback, there were some concerns raised about management and staffing levels, with mentions of the community being understaffed and disorganized. Concerns related to communication with families and the adequacy of supervision during certain shifts were noted, although one reviewer pointed out that the introduction of a new Director of Nursing (DON) had led to improvements. It was also mentioned that while day staff were generally good, the care and supervision during the 3-11 shift needed more attention, and there were issues with care and the management of complaints. However, these negatives did not overshadow the fact that many see this veterans' home as a stellar example of how to care for those who have served the country, with several reviewers stating that their loved ones received excellent care and support in a respectful and dignified environment.
