Reviews

Residents and their families say:

This community has received a mix of positive and critical feedback from reviewers. Many praised the attentiveness and quality of care provided by the staff, highlighting their kindness, friendliness, and professionalism. The nursing and rehab therapy services, in particular, were often commended for their excellence and the progress they facilitated in patients. The cleanliness of the facility was also frequently mentioned, with several reviewers noting that it was well maintained and did not have the typical odors associated with healthcare facilities. Additionally, the efforts made to cater to residents' dietary needs and preferences were appreciated, with some meals described as excellent.
However, there were several areas of concern raised by multiple reviewers. Understaffing was a recurring theme, with some suggesting that it impacted the timeliness and quality of care. Specific issues related to this included delays in assistance and, in one case, a resident not receiving help for an extended period. The quality of the food was another point of criticism, with complaints about meals being cold or unappealing. There were also mentions of communication barriers and occasional lapses in room cleanliness and misplacement of personal items. Despite these criticisms, the positive aspects of caring staff, effective therapy, and a clean environment suggest that many residents and their families have had satisfactory experiences.
