Residents and their families say:

This community has garnered praise for its cleanliness, well-maintained facilities, and particularly its outstanding staff, who were frequently mentioned for their exceptional care and helpfulness. Many reviewers emphasized the friendly and professional demeanor of the nurses and staff, noting that their attentiveness and dedication significantly contributed to the well-being and comfort of residents, especially during difficult circumstances such as COVID-19. The community was also commended for its effective communication and efforts to facilitate connections between residents and their families, which was particularly valued during times of isolation.
However, there was a mention of frustration related to scheduling visits, pointing towards potential communication gaps or administrative challenges faced by the community. Despite this, the overall sentiment from reviews strongly highlighted the compassionate and high-quality care provided, notably during the pandemic where the medical staff, including former doctors turned nurses, was lauded for their adept handling and care for residents with COVID-19. The inclusion of amenities and support for family events, such as hosting a wedding, was also seen positively, contributing to a sense of community and family extension within the facility.
