Reviews

Residents and their families say:

This community has received a mix of feedback that highlights both the dedication of its staff and areas for improvement. Many reviewers praise the attentive and caring nature of the staff, with one reviewer specifically noting the exceptional help their sister received, shedding a positive light on the personal touch some staff members bring to their roles. Another reviewer shared their relief and satisfaction with the care their sister received after being transferred to this facility, emphasizing the hard work and great care provided which allowed them to rest easy for the first time in weeks. Their commendation extends to the facility's efforts in working hard to regain trust, pointing towards a commitment to improvement and responsiveness to concerns.
The long-term reputation of this community also garners admiration, as highlighted by a reviewer who, based on their experience five years prior, esteemed the facility's cleanliness, the staff's respectful and kind attitude, and the comprehensive recovery support following surgery. This reviewer's positive recollection extends to recommendations for their own future needs, indicating a lasting favorable impression. Furthermore, comments about the friendly atmosphere and the involved, caring nature of not just the staff but the administration suggests a welcoming and supportive community environment where even family members feel acknowledged and valued.
However, not all feedback is positive, with a critique mentioning that some staff members appear uncaring, and attempts by helpful staff are sometimes overridden by higher authority. While this negative point is isolated, it suggests areas for improvement in staff management and the importance of consistently upholding high care standards across all levels of involvement within the community. Such critiques underscore the need for continued attention to both staff performance and administrative policies to ensure that the positive experiences outweigh the negative ones for both residents and their families.
