Reviews

Residents and their families say:

This community has received numerous positive remarks from visitors and family members of residents, praising the care provided, the cleanliness of the facility, and the friendly and accommodating nature of the staff. Many have expressed satisfaction with the size and comfort of the rooms, the quality and taste of the food, and the overall atmosphere which feels like home. Staff members, including the admission staff, have been described as kind, caring, and going above and beyond to make residents feel comfortable and welcome. The nursing care has been highlighted for its excellence, leading to improvements in the health and overall appearance of residents. There's also a commendation for the respectful and loving way staff interact with both residents and their family members, creating a welcoming environment for visits and making transitions smoother for new residents. Activities and social opportunities for residents have been noted as positives, contributing to an enjoyable living environment.
However, some negative experiences have also been shared. One reviewer experienced rudeness and condescension from the office staff during the process of seeking placement for a family member, deterring them from choosing this community. Another notable concern comes from a staff perspective, mentioning a high staff turnover, insufficient staff-to-resident ratios, particularly in areas requiring more intensive care like memory care halls. These issues reportedly led to burdensome workloads for the CNAs and could affect the level of care provided to residents. Feedback also mentioned the quality of food as a detractor and suggested the need for more staff to ensure all resident care needs are promptly met. Despite these criticisms, the community seems to excel in creating a supportive and loving environment for its residents, with many family members and visitors recommending it based on their positive experiences.
