Reviews

Residents and their families say:

The reviews for this community present a mixture of sentiments, highlighting both the positive and negative experiences of residents and their families. On the positive side, the physical and occupational therapy (OT & PT) staff received high praise across several evaluations, being described as excellent and providing outstanding service. Likewise, many reviewers expressed satisfaction with the level of care provided to their family members, particularly praising the attentive and loving nature of the staff. Descriptions of the atmosphere were generally positive, mentioning a serene environment suitable for the elderly, and an inviting, compassionate community with numerous activities and clear communication, especially appreciated during the challenges imposed by the COVID pandemic. The quality of the food and the cleanliness of the facility were also commended by some residents and their families.
However, there were significant concerns mentioned in multiple reviews. Chief among these was the reported poor quality of nursing care, with one account detailing serious issues like the reuse of dirty catheter bags, mismanaged medication, and a lack of response from the nursing staff. Complaints about the attitude and responsiveness of nurses were echoed in other reviews, presenting a stark contrast to the otherwise positive feedback about the care team. Additionally, some reviewers experienced difficulties with staff communication and service, including the handling of special care needs and the responsiveness to resident requests.
