Reviews

Residents and their families say:

This community has received numerous commendations for its compassionate, professional, and dedicated staff who excel in providing care to their residents, especially those with dementia, in rehabilitation, or in need of long-term care. Many reviewers express deep gratitude for the sincere patient interactions and the high quality of care their loved ones received, highlighting the staff's ability to make the facility feel like a true home. The community's ability to handle difficult transitions, such as moving a parent into long-term care or rehabilitating after hospitalization, was frequently praised, with special mention of the ease and care provided during these times. The involvement in community activities and the effort to make residents feel loved, even during the challenging times of COVID-19, was also highlighted.
However, there were a few criticisms among the largely positive reviews. One consistent complaint related to the quality of food, with meals sometimes being served cold and menu choices not always meeting expectations. Some reviewers also noted that the physical facilities, particularly in older sections, could benefit from updates and maintenance. Despite these concerns, the community was often recommended for its excellent care, cleanliness, and the overall positive environment. The staff's responsiveness and attentiveness to both resident and family needs, coupled with their professionalism, make this community a highly recommended choice for those seeking care for their loved ones.
