Reviews

Residents and their families say:

This community has garnered praises for its effective physical therapy, caring staff, and varied food options. Several reviewers highlighted the feeling of being treated like family, noting the staff's kindness, caring nature, and professionalism. Positive experiences were often tied to the staff's helpful and cheerful attitude, which significantly contributed to the recovery and well-being of residents. Activities such as bingo were appreciated for adding enjoyment to the stay. Another positive aspect mentioned was the smooth transition provided for residents moving back to their families, facilitated by attentive staff members.
However, there were a few criticisms, including concerns about high staff turnover, which led to variability in the knowledge level among employees. One reviewer mentioned a lack of regard for personal property, citing an incident where a cell phone charger was mistakenly thrown away. Another point of dissatisfaction was a seemingly arbitrary implementation of rules, like the prohibition against pocket knives, which caught a resident by surprise. Despite these criticisms, the consensus suggests that the positive aspects, such as the warmth and dedication of the staff and the overall effective rehabilitation process, make this community a recommended option for both short-term rehabilitation and long-term care.
