Reviews

Residents and their families say:

This community is highly praised for its dedicated and caring staff, with aspects such as the leadership team, direct care staff, nurses, doctors, and anesthesiologists receiving particular commendation for their hard work and commitment to accommodating everyone’s needs. Reviewers underscore the competent and kind nature of the staff, noting how they go above and beyond in providing exceptional care, both physically and mentally, to residents. Family members express gratitude for the attentive and loving approach staff members have towards residents, emphasizing the personalized care their loved ones receive. The community’s efforts in making residents feel relaxed and minimizing pain, especially during recovery periods, were highlighted as particularly noteworthy.
Some reviewers mentioned that although there are prettier facilities in the area, none match the level of care and dedication found at this community. The recent renovations, including the enlargement of rehab rooms and modernization of the rehab gym, along with the addition of large patio areas and a pet-friendly policy, have been well-received. However, it was acknowledged that, as with any nursing home, there are occasional downsides, but these did not significantly detract from the overall positive experiences reported by residents and their families. The community's commitment to creating a welcoming and supportive environment is evidenced by the individual stories of comfort and satisfaction shared by reviewers.
