Reviews

Residents and their families say:

This community has elicited a number of positive reactions from visitors and patients alike, who commend its swift and professional healthcare services. Many reviewers highlighted the efficiency and care with which they were treated during emergencies, including heart attacks and potential strokes. One individual was pleasantly surprised by the immediate attention and treatment they received upon discussing their health concern, leading to a quick and successful intervention. The radiology team, in particular, received praise for their helpful, courteous demeanor and their commitment to going above and beyond in meeting patient needs. Additionally, the community was noted for its capacity to manage appointments rapidly, significantly reducing wait times that patients had previously experienced elsewhere.
Despite these commendations, there were notable concerns regarding certain aspects of patient care and facility management, particularly relating to the bedside manner of some emergency personnel and the handling of patient belongings. One reviewer expressed dissatisfaction with the attitude of the EMTs during a stressful situation, indicating a need for improvement in their interpersonal skills. Another disturbing report involved a patient's phone being stolen from her room, with the staff's response and follow-up to the incident leaving much to be desired. These negative experiences, although fewer, suggest areas where the community could improve, especially in terms of communication and security measures.
In essence, while the community is frequently acknowledged for its effective and speedy medical attention, along with the compassionate and professional demeanor of most of its staff, it's clear there are areas requiring attention to ensure all patients have a uniformly positive experience. The feedback on rapid and competent care, particularly in emergency and radiology services, confirms the community's commitment to high-quality healthcare. However, addressing concerns related to patient interaction and personal belongings would further enhance its reputation.
