Reviews

Residents and their families say:

This community receives high praise for its caring and professional staff, with many reviewers highlighting the kindness, attentiveness, and dedication of those working across various roles from nurses and CNAs to therapists and housekeepers. Reviewers consistently note the clean and beautifully decorated facilities, the excellent care provided, and the positive environment that helps residents feel comfortable and uplifted. The staff is commended for their team spirit, with one reviewer impressed by how well the staff knew residents and their preferences, ensuring everyone is treated with dignity and respect. The food quality is generally appreciated, with special mention of its comparability to restaurant food, although one detracting point was the absence of specialized diets for certain medical conditions, which affected a few residents negatively.
However, a few negative statements emerge, primarily around the adequacy of the facility for specific medical rehabilitation needs and dietary restrictions, indicating it might be more suited to nursing home care rather than medical rehabilitation for some. Complaints include a lack of specialized diets critical for patients with specific health conditions and instances of poor response to medical situations. Additionally, concerns were raised about understaffing, delays in medicine administration, and room temperature control, which impacted the comfort and well-being of some residents. Despite these points, the overwhelmingly positive feedback celebrates the staff's compassionate approach, the effective rehabilitation services, and the overall atmosphere of the community, making it a recommended choice for many families.
