Residents and their families say:

This community has garnered commendation for its caring and dedicated staff, as well as the recent improvements and enhancements to the building and services. Many reviewers have expressed their gratitude towards the compassionate and professional demeanor of team members, highlighting the positive impact they have had on both residents and their families. The staff's commitment to making residents feel at home and well-cared for is frequently mentioned, alongside the appreciation for the new management. The speech therapy department, in particular, received high praise for its effectiveness and the remarkable progress made by residents in their care.
However, there are some concerns that were raised, including an issue with a persistent urine odor mentioned by one visitor. Despite this negative comment, the overall sentiment remains positive, with many underlining the significant improvements in the facility, the high level of care, and the welcoming environment that makes residents and their families feel supported and valued. The community's efforts to accommodate and communicate effectively with residents, especially those with special needs like hard of hearing, further illustrate their dedication to providing quality care.
