Reviews

Residents and their families say:

This community has received a mix of feedback from the family members of residents, with several positive remarks highlighting the professionalism, compassion, and care provided by the staff. Many reviews praised specific aspects such as the recreation department, the quality of the food, and the attention to detail in the care of their loved ones. The nursing staff, doctors, and case managers were commended for being proactive, honest, and clear about the conditions and treatments of the residents. Families felt reassured and satisfied with the level of care, with one family member recommending the facility highly for the care of a loved one, stating a significant improvement in experience compared to a previous rehab facility.
However, attention to concerns is necessary as one review pointed out a distressing experience regarding the lack of compassion from some staff members and issues with the care provided, particularly as the resident's health declined. Specifically, there were serious concerns about the administration of necessary medications and the overall hygiene and care, particularly mouth care, which was described as neglectful. This negative experience included a distressing account of the resident's final days and a lack of preparation by the community for hospice care.
Families considering this community for their loved ones should weigh the personalized and positive experiences shared by many against the serious concerns raised by others. The praises for the compassion, professionalism, and overall care environment indicate that many have found comfort and trust in the staff and services provided. Yet, the issues of concern, especially regarding the declining care for a resident in hospice and the lack of readiness with essential medications, highlight the importance of continuous improvement and vigilance in care standards.
