Reviews

Residents and their families say:

The positive feedback regarding this community largely centers around the high-quality care and the warm, family-like atmosphere it provides. Reviewers have praised the facility for treating residents with respect and kindness, highlighting the exceptional rehabilitation services, personalized care, and the genuine concern and friendship offered by staff members. From rehabilitation after knee surgeries to the respectful and caring environment for elderly residents, the sense of being valued and properly cared for was a common theme. The clean and well-maintained facility, along with home-made food options, created a comfortable and inviting atmosphere. The staff, described as always happy, smiling, and displaying good bedside manners, are credited for their teamwork and the overall friendly living environment. This sense of community and care is attributed to the facility being family-owned, which some believe leads to better care compared to larger, corporate businesses.
However, it's not without its criticisms. A few negative remarks were made about the facility being understaffed, which sometimes resulted in unattended phone calls throughout the day. Additionally, concerns were raised about the quality of the food being marginal and a lack of air conditioning in one of the permanent care wings, which is a significant discomfort for the residents living there, especially considering the high costs associated with staying at the facility. These issues, however, seem to be isolated when compared to the overwhelming amount of positive feedback regarding the quality of care and the environment of the facility.
