Reviews

Residents and their families say:

This community has received praise for being an excellent facility, particularly for those in search of short or long-term care for loved ones. Several reviewers have highlighted the community's positive atmosphere, with one individual having a noteworthy experience during their time as a housekeeper. They commended the pleasant nature of both coworkers and residents, despite mentioning some underlying issues with staff drama and concerns over job performance by certain aides or nurses. These issues, however, seem isolated and not widespread enough to overshadow the commendations. Another reviewer expressed their gratitude towards the community for the exceptional care their great grandfather received, reinforcing the sentiment that this community is a reputable choice for quality care, underlined by the professionalism and kindness of its staff.
While most feedback centers around positive experiences, indicating a welcoming and well-maintained environment, there are mentions of some areas needing improvement, particularly in staff performance and internal dynamics among employees. Nevertheless, these critiques do not detract significantly from the overall impression of a compassionate and competent facility, ready to meet the needs of its residents. The endorsements, particularly from those who have seen their relatives well-cared for, suggest that this community stands out as a recommended option for anyone seeking a reliable and nurturing setting for their family members.
