Reviews

Residents and their families say:

The community has received a mixture of both highly positive and certain negative feedback from its patrons. Many reviewers have lauded the care and professionalism shown by the staff across various departments, noting exceptional experiences in the emergency room, the maternity ward, psychiatric help, and general hospital care. Reviewers frequently highlighted the compassion, dedication, and efficiency of the nursing staff and volunteers, recounting instances where their needs were met promptly and with a great deal of empathy. Specific compliments were also given to the food quality and the cleanliness of the facilities, demonstrating a comprehensive approach to patient care. The efforts of the staff to provide a comforting environment, especially during stressful procedures or hospital stays, were particularly appreciated, contributing to positive health outcomes and overall satisfaction.
However, some reviews raised concerns about certain aspects such as the emergency department's long wait times, perceived unnecessary tests, and a lack of prompt COVID-19 testing which added to the frustration of the patients and their families. Additionally, some reviewers noted instances of poor bedside manners and communication issues with certain staff members, alongside experiences perceived as lacking in empathy or understanding, particularly in handling psychiatric conditions. While these negative experiences were mentioned, they were less frequent compared to the positive comments. The consistent praise for the community's staff and their ability to make patients feel better both physically and emotionally seems to encapsulate the general sentiment towards this community, despite some areas needing improvement.
