Reviews

Residents and their families say:

This community receives high praise for its compassionate and professional staff, including both medical personnel and administrative figures who go above and beyond their usual duties, exemplified by occasions where administrators worked as assistants to ensure resident care. Residents and their families feel welcomed, highlighting the sense of community and care that seems to resonate throughout the facility. The rehab services are frequently lauded for their excellence, with many reviewers specifically mentioning the effectiveness and dedication of the rehab staff. Families feel at ease knowing their loved ones are treated with kindness, respect, and professionalism, making the community highly recommended by many.
However, there are a few areas where feedback is mixed or leaning towards negative. Some reviewers pointed out that there has been a change in management leading to noticeable declines in cleanliness and staffing levels. Complaints about the quality of food and care were mentioned, although it's noted in a later review that there has been improvement in these areas. The delayed response to service calls during a snowstorm was brought up, but this was counterbalanced by the extraordinary efforts made by staff, including top administrators, to ensure resident care during difficult circumstances. Despite these few concerns, the overwhelming majority of feedback is positive, painting a picture of a community that is deeply committed to the well-being and satisfaction of its residents and their families.
