Residents and their families say:

This community generally receives positive feedback for its attentive and caring staff, clean facilities, and a broad range of activities geared towards residents' engagement and well-being. Families and residents have expressed gratitude for the exceptional care provided, highlighting the cleanliness of the environment and the absence of unpleasant odors, which are often a concern in similar settings. The food quality received commendations, and the array of activities, including outings and social events, significantly contributed to a sense of community and happiness among the residents. The staff, particularly nurses and CNAs, were frequently mentioned for their kindness, respect, and dedication to ensuring residents felt well-cared for and respected, making it feel as close to home as possible.
However, some concerns were raised about staffing levels and management attention, with reports of the community being "dangerously understaffed" and management sometimes appearing indifferent to concerns raised by families and residents. These issues reportedly led to delays in assistance and a perceived decline in the quality of care and attention given to residents, contrasting with earlier positive experiences. Despite the challenges mentioned, many families still found the community to offer a nurturing and supportive environment for their loved ones, highlighting the efforts of individual staff members who go above and beyond in their roles. Instances of excellent care, especially towards the end of residents' lives, were noted, underscoring a commitment to compassionate care even in the face of staffing and management challenges.
