Reviews

Residents and their families say:

This community is widely praised for its superb staff, comfortable, home-like atmosphere, and the quality of care it provides. Multiple reviews emphasize the friendliness, professionalism, and caring nature of the staff, noting that they treat residents and each other like family. The director of nursing and the administrator, in particular, receive special mentions for their exceptional leadership and helpfulness. The community environment is described as clean, welcoming, and conducive to fostering strong team dynamics among the staff, enhancing the overall care experience for the residents.
However, one area of improvement mentioned by a reviewer concerns the timing of food service, noting that not everyone receives their meals simultaneously, which can be frustrating. Despite this isolated critique, the consensus among the reviews is highly positive, focusing on the community's ability to create a loving and supportive environment for both residents and staff. The staff's dedication is highlighted not only in their day-to-day interactions but also through special events and the personal joy they bring to their roles, such as offering haircuts with a personal touch and impromptu concerts. The community thus stands out for its caring staff, strong sense of community, and commitment to resident well-being.
