Residents and their families say:

This community has received a wealth of positive feedback from visitors and families, highlighting a friendly environment, clean facilities, and a highly professional and kind staff. Reviewers have praised the community for its organization, describing visits as quiet and relaxing, and staff being warm, helpful, and respectful. A particularly appreciated aspect seems to be the dedication and compassion of the nursing and therapy personnel. Many reviewers noted improvements in the conditions of their loved ones due to the attentive and caring nature of the staff, mentioning that nurses are understanding, informative, and patient. The therapy services received commendations as well, with therapists being recognized for helping patients gain strength and improve on a weekly basis. Additionally, the efforts to maintain a pleasant and safe environment, despite the challenges presented by COVID-19, have been acknowledged and appreciated by visitors.
However, not all feedback was without critique. There were mentions of the need for quicker patient attention from nurses and a specific suggestion to lower the volume of televisions in common areas to facilitate easier conversation. Despite these points, aspects like the utilization of music and therapy sessions, efficient check-in processes, and overall professionalism and amiability of staff were commonly highlighted. The sense of community and care extended not just to the patients but also to their families, offering peace of mind and a semblance of home. This sentiment was underlined by appreciations for the careful and quick recovery of residents, heartfelt thanks for the support provided during challenging times, and an affirmation of the trust placed in the community to care for loved ones.
