Reviews

Residents and their families say:

This community has received mixed reviews, highlighting both its strengths and areas for improvement. On the positive side, numerous reviewers noted the dedication and care provided by the staff. One reviewer mentioned a nurse who genuinely cares for the residents, emphasizing the personal connection and commitment seen in some staff members. The blend of long-standing employees with over 20 years of service and younger, open-minded personnel creates an environment supportive of an "open door policy," fostering a family-like atmosphere for residents. The sentiment that the staff, including CNAs and nurses, treat residents like family was echoed by multiple reviewers. One person noted that staff often use their own money to purchase items for residents to bring them joy, underscoring the deep personal commitment to the wellbeing of those in their care.
However, concerns were raised about the community's management and staffing levels. Several reviewers criticized the pay as inadequate for the workload, mentioning that the community is often understaffed with a reliance on agency workers, who were described by some as disrespectful and lazy. There were complaints regarding the high expectations placed on staff without sufficient appreciation or support, particularly in relation to a new dementia unit that is perceived to be understaffed. Additionally, issues with administration were mentioned, including a reluctance to adequately staff shifts and an atmosphere that led staff to feel undervalued and disposable. Despite these challenges, the positive impact of committed staff members and the measures taken by new management to improve conditions were highlighted, suggesting a facility that is striving to better itself amidst ongoing issues.
