Residents and their families say:

This community is frequently praised for its exceptional care, characterized by kindness, dignity, and an atmosphere of joy, especially notable in the treatment of veterans. The staff, including nurses, CNAs, LCSWs, and occupational therapists, is highlighted for their gentleness, patience, and the ability to ease the pain and discomfort of residents. Their dedication to providing personalized and compassionate care makes a significant positive impact on the residents and their families. The community's attention to detail, such as modifying food selections to assist with self-feeding, and the concerted effort to ensure smooth transitions of care, are particularly commended. Additionally, the commitment of the staff to work cooperatively with families, respecting their needs and questions without ever appearing too busy or patronizing, underscores their professional and caring approach.
However, some criticisms have been noted, primarily concerning communication and interpersonal aspects with certain staff members. Issues of poor communication among staff and negative interactions, such as a reported condescending attitude from a staff member during phone communications, have been mentioned. These negative points, although fewer in comparison to the positives, suggest areas for improvement in internal communication and staff-client interactions. Despite these criticisms, the overwhelming majority of feedback celebrates the loving, respectful environment provided for veterans and their families, often during their final stages of life. The significant role the community plays in honoring veterans at the end of life, as exemplified by the touching salute tribute to a resident, exemplifies the deep respect and affection that defines the care given at this facility.
