Reviews

Residents and their families say:

This community has received a mix of feedback from various reviewers, highlighting both the positive aspects and areas needing improvement. Many commend the community for its engaging activities, helpful and caring staff, and the overall sense of safety and care provided to the residents. Keeping residents active and involved in making things and participating in other activities has been notably appreciated. Genesis Senior Living is recognized for its attentive approach towards both resident and family needs, with several reviewers expressing satisfaction with the care their loved ones received, particularly praising the staff's attentiveness and compassion.
However, there are criticisms as well, with one reviewer mentioning a significant concern regarding a loved one acquiring an infection and bedsores, which could suggest lapses in care or attention. Also noted were concerns about the level of professionalism among some staff members, with a mention of staff appearing to be under the influence of substances, which raises safety and reliability issues. The community's lower compensation for staff compared to other areas might be affecting its ability to attract and retain more qualified caregivers. Additionally, there's mention of the physical appearance of the facility needing improvement. Despite these points of criticism, the community appears to have strengths in its engaging activities and the care and dedication of at least part of its staff.
