Reviews

Residents and their families say:

This community has garnered praise for its exceptional care, including top-notch therapy, commendable cleanliness, and a modern facility. Reviewers highlighted the compassionate and caring nature of the staff, indicating a strong commitment to the well-being of residents. The therapy department, particularly physical, occupational, and speech therapy, was mentioned as a critical component of the community's service, playing a significant role in the progress of residents. The grounds and building received compliments for being extremely clean and modern, creating a comfortable and welcoming environment for both residents and their families. The management team's responsiveness to questions and concerns was noted as exemplary, and the effort to address issues promptly was appreciated by family members.
However, the community faces challenges, notably in staffing and the work/life balance for its employees, which has led to dissatisfaction among some. There were reports of inadequate assistance, particularly for residents requiring a higher level of care, including an alarming absence of a call light system for a new resident, leaving them without a means to request help. These issues underscore the importance of patience and collaboration during a stay, as acknowledged in one of the reviews, especially during the unprecedented strain on healthcare facilities caused by the pandemic. Despite these drawbacks, many reviewers expressed gratitude towards the staff's effort and care, demonstrating a foundation of trust and appreciation within this community.
