Reviews

Residents and their families say:

This community has been highly praised for its exceptional care, cleanliness, and dedicated staff. Reviewers have highlighted the facility's meticulous attention to upkeep and hygiene, along with a highly professional, caring, and personable staff that goes above and beyond in providing compassionate and knowledgeable care. The food quality and variety earned particular acclaim, with residents and their families expressing satisfaction with the meal service. Physical therapy services were also commended for their effectiveness and the professionalism of the staff involved. The community has been described as the "Cadillac of rehabilitation facilities," underlining its superior services and environment.
However, a few areas of improvement were noted by some reviewers. Concerns were raised about the nighttime PCA staff's need for additional training on how to handle post-surgical patients with more care and attention, including slowing down and properly introducing themselves to ensure clear communication about who is providing care. Additionally, a desire for better communication from the male nursing staff on the rehab team was mentioned, specifically regarding medication inquiries. While these points were brought up, they seem to represent isolated instances within an otherwise overwhelmingly positive set of feedback. The community's approach to family communication, especially during challenging times like the Covid lockdown, was praised for exceeding expectations, significantly appreciating the efforts made to keep families well-informed and engaged.
