Reviews

Residents and their families say:

This community has received a multitude of positive feedback from residents and their family members, highlighting the exceptional care and support provided by the staff. Many have noted that the staff, from upper management to nurses and aides, go out of their way to ensure comfort, provide excellent care, and foster a welcoming and friendly environment. Notably, the rehabilitation services have been praised for their effectiveness, with several reviewers expressing gratitude for the significant improvements in their health and mobility. The activities and dining experience also receive favorable mentions, adding to the overall satisfaction with the community's services.
However, there have been some concerns raised, notably about the building's need for updates and the size of the bathrooms, which some found to be minor compared to the quality of care received. A singular negative review mentioned a grievous issue regarding the care of a resident, but this view is not echoed across the other feedback and thus stands out as an isolated case. The general consensus among the reviewers is one of trust and appreciation for the community, with many stating their intent to return if needed and recommending the facility to others for its caring atmosphere and the dedication of its staff.
