Reviews

Residents and their families say:

This community has garnered mixed reviews, with many praising the compassionate care, professionalism, and the variety of activities provided for residents. Positive remarks highlight the staff's exceptional consideration in their interactions, attentiveness, and the quality of rehabilitation services, including physical therapy that has markedly improved the lives of several individuals. Families have expressed gratitude towards the entire team for making their loved ones feel like family, noting specific acts of kindness such as singing to residents, maintaining a clean environment, and ensuring their loved ones are well-groomed. The welcoming nature of the staff during the admission process and their ongoing support throughout the stay has been lauded by many.
However, not all feedback is positive. There were serious concerns raised including issues with overmedication, the lack of progress toward recovery, and allegations of mistreatment. These negative experiences, voiced by a few reviewers, include claims of staff being mean, improper handling of patients, and dissatisfaction with the level of care provided. Additionally, while the community is complimented on its cleanliness and the staff's friendliness, there's a call for updates to the facility's aesthetics. Despite these concerns, the majority of reviews celebrate the staff's dedication and the quality of care, with several families expressing their thanks and recommending the community for both short-term rehab and long-term care.
