Reviews

Residents and their families say:

This community has received high praise for its attentive and caring staff across various departments, from nursing to therapy teams, making residents feel right at home. The cleanliness of the facility and the beauty of the living spaces, including rooms and dining areas, were highlighted, alongside the great care taken for loved ones, particularly during challenging times such as the COVID-19 pandemic. The community's ability to maintain effective communication with family members through regular updates and innovative solutions like Zoom meetings was greatly appreciated. Several reviews mentioned the staff's professionalism, kindness, and the quality of rehabilitation services which contributed to speedy recoveries for their loved ones.
However, some concerns were raised regarding the food quality, timely medication distribution, and the need for better orientation for new staff members, indicating room for improvement in these areas. Further, a reviewer pointed out the need for updates to the physical environment, mentioning a musty smell, lack of light, and the necessity for painting and new flooring. Despite these concerns, the majority of feedback was overwhelmingly positive, focusing on the loving, family-like atmosphere created by the dedicated staff and the exceptional care provided to residents and their families.
