Residents and their families say:

This community has received a wealth of positive feedback from the families of past and current residents, highlighting the exceptional care and attention to detail provided by its staff. The nursing, healthcare, and office personnel have been consistently praised for their outstanding service, making residents and their families feel well-cared for and supported. The cleanliness and hygiene standards of the facility were particularly commended, alongside the diligent and compassionate approach of the staff across all departments, from social services to housekeeping and maintenance. The community's efforts to keep family members updated, especially during challenging times such as the COVID-19 pandemic, did not go unnoticed, with many reviewers expressing their gratitude for the regular communication and the inclusive approach to care plans.
While the majority of feedback was overwhelmingly positive, there were a few minor critiques. One reviewer mentioned that the level of care during the second shift was not as good as during the first, though they believed this issue had been resolved. Another noted that while the facility might not be the "prettiest" nursing home and there were always areas to improve upon, the quality of care and the focus on staff were what truly mattered to them. These points, however, did not significantly detract from the overall positive experiences shared by most. The dedication of the staff, many of whom have served the community for over twenty years, was frequently cited as a testament to the compassionate and highly competent atmosphere fostered at this facility, making it a highly recommended place for loved ones needing care and rehabilitation.
