Reviews

Residents and their families say:

This community has received a mix of positive and negative feedback. Many reviewers have praised the community for aspects like cleanliness and the extra care provided to residents, especially those in need of rehabilitation services after incidents such as hip fractures or for longer-term needs. The dedication of some staff members was highlighted, with mentions of specific individuals who went above and beyond in their roles, providing support not only to the residents but also to their families. The activities and social services offered were also appreciated, making a positive impact on the residents' well-being and aiding in their recovery and comfort.
However, there were concerns raised about the level of staffing, with some pointing out issues such as the facility being short-handed with dependable, professional staff. This was seen to contribute to several operational challenges, such as delays in meal service, mishandling of medication, and a rushed admission process. Furthermore, noise and lighting issues in the hallways were highlighted as areas needing improvement, impacting the overall experience for some residents. Despite these challenges, the community was noted for its noteworthy efforts in maintaining a clean and odor-free environment, with a friendly and knowledgeable therapy department, even amidst the difficulties posed by the COVID-19 pandemic.
