Reviews

Residents and their families say:

This community has garnered mixed reviews, with a significant emphasis on the dedication and warmth of its staff. Many reviewers have expressed deep appreciation for the personal care and attention their loved ones received. Comments highlight that employees, from the chefs to the nurses and desk staff, go above and beyond their duties, treating residents like their own family. The community's environment is described as well-maintained, not bearing the typical nursing home smell, and exemplifying strong morals and ethics, traits attributed to its Catholic management. The cleanliness of the facility and the respectfulness of the staff were also positively noted, portraying an overall nurturing and caring atmosphere for seniors in need of care.
However, there are critical concerns that cannot be overlooked. Several reviewers pointed out issues related to understaffing and the subsequent effects on the quality of care, including missed patient appointments due to lack of transportation, and problems with food being served cold. The lack of proper supplies was mentioned as leading to inadequate medical care, and one reviewer explicitly advised against placing a loved one in this community given these issues. While the staff's dedication is clear, challenges such as inadequate training and the need for more hands on deck hint at an operational struggle to consistently meet resident and patient needs in an otherwise praised setting.
