Reviews

Residents and their families say:

This community has received mixed feedback from reviewers, with a noticeable variation in experiences related to staff behavior, care quality, and facility amenities. On the positive side, numerous statements highlight the dedication and kindness of the staff, mentioning that they were very nice, caring, and especially attentive to residents' needs. There's praise for the physical therapy department, which was lauded for doing an exceptional job in rehabilitating patients, getting them back to their needed levels of health and mobility swiftly. Cleanliness of the facility was also noted, along with the absence of typical nursing home odors, spacious rooms, and an overall environment that saw some residents experiencing significant improvements in their conditions and well-being.
However, several concerning issues were raised that affect the community's reputation negatively. Repeatedly mentioned was the insufficient staffing levels, with specific examples citing instances of patients not being monitored for hours and not receiving timely help, which in some cases led to patients being in their own waste for extended periods. This particular point of criticism underscores a larger issue of neglect and a lack of timely care. Furthermore, there were reports of the facility being in desperate need of updates, regarding both its physical infrastructure and patient care equipment. Meals were not always served as per expectation, and the lack of a proper welcome or orientation for new residents and their families, along with minimal staff interaction, added to the concerns. Despite these negative points, there are individuals and families who have found comfort and satisfaction in the care provided to their loved ones.
