Reviews

Residents and their families say:

This community enjoys a reputation for its exceptional care, with many reviewers highlighting the staff's friendly and caring nature. Residents and visitors alike appreciate the clean facility and the wide range of activities available for both residents and staff. The presence of pets is welcomed, adding a homely feel to the environment. Many reviewers expressed gratitude for the quality of rehabilitation services, mentioning successful recoveries and the ability to return home with improved health. Special mention was made of the facility’s ability to create a family-like atmosphere, where residents, staff, and visitors support each other in a cooperative spirit.
However, not every aspect of the reviews was positive. A specific staff member was noted by one reviewer as being unhelpful and displaying a poor attitude, detracting from an otherwise generally positive experience. Concerns were also raised regarding the expertise in wound care, suggesting a need for improvement in this area. Yet, these critiques were largely isolated, with the overarching sentiment focusing on the community’s strengths, such as its commitment to cleanliness, enjoyable activities, effective rehabilitation services, and a staff that consistently goes beyond expectations to offer quality care and support to all residents.
