Residents and their families say:

This community has received a mix of feedback from patients and visitors, emphasizing the professionalism and kindness of its staff across various departments, from the ER to outpatient services. Many reviewers highlighted the exceptional care and attentiveness provided by the nursing staff, doctors, and even the housekeeping team. Patients felt well-informed and cared for during their stay, citing examples of thorough medical examinations, effective communication regarding treatment plans, and overall compassionate care. The responsiveness and helpfulness of the staff, including during emergencies and for routine check-ups or vaccinations, have been particularly appreciated, contributing to positive experiences even for those who had initial reservations based on the community's reputation or past reviews.
However, several concerns were also noted, particularly regarding lengthy wait times in the ER and dissatisfaction with the billing and social work departments. A few reviewers experienced delays in treatment or a lack of promptness in receiving updates during their ER visits, which was frustrating for patients in pain or distress. The condition of the facility was mentioned as well, with calls for modernization and better maintenance to enhance the patient experience. Despite these criticisms, the kindness and professionalism of the majority of the staff have made significant positive impressions on patients and families, underscoring a level of care that many would recommend to others.
