Reviews

Residents and their families say:

This community has garnered high praise for its exceptional staff, comprehensive care, and welcoming environment. Reviewers frequently commend the therapy department, noting significant improvements in their own or their relatives' health and mobility after therapy sessions. The nursing and therapy teams have been described as caring, friendly, and highly skilled, contributing to faster-than-expected recoveries. The cleanliness of the facility, the quality of the food, and the variety of activities available to residents are also highlighted as positive aspects of the community. Personal touches, such as assistance with personal appearance and providing updates to families, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, have been well-received. Communication with families has been effective, ensuring that they are informed and engaged with the care of their loved ones. Additionally, the facility has been described as a welcoming place to work, with reviewers noting the positive atmosphere and the management's effort to maintain a satisfying dining experience and engaging activity schedule for its residents.
Despite the overwhelming positivity, there was a mention of understaffing and a lack of information among aides about individual residents following a management change, marking a shift from previously higher ratings to lower satisfaction. This concern, however, seems isolated when compared to the multitude of positive experiences shared by others. The positive impact of the staff's dedication and the variety of programs designed for both rehabilitation and long-term residents, including specialized care for memory care patients, overwhelmingly defines the community's reputation. Reviewers feel their family members are in capable and caring hands, with some noting the effort and improvement in the care of their relatives, especially under challenging conditions like recovery from COVID-19. This community remains recommended by many as a place for both rehabilitation and long-term care, providing peace of mind to families and a high level of care and companionship to its residents.
