Reviews

Residents and their families say:

This community, as depicted through numerous positive reviews, is highly praised for its exceptional care and the warm, family-like atmosphere created by its staff. Many reviewers have spotlighted the dedication and professionalism of the nursing staff and certified nursing assistants, highlighting their timely response to call lights and their genuine concern for patients’ comfort. The presence of specialized staff such as certified addiction counselors and psychiatrists, who regularly meet with patients to address mental health issues, is also commended. The efforts to integrate residents into the community through activities and outings are appreciated, contributing to a lively and engaging environment. The cleanliness of the facility and its commitment to safety and meeting residents' physical needs are further points of praise. The community is recognized for making residents feel at home, with one reviewer even expressing regret that they had not found this community sooner for their loved one, underscoring the significant difference it made in their health and happiness.
However, not all feedback is without criticism. The environment is mentioned to be very busy at times, and one review implied that witnessing the conditions of other residents could be unsettling for newcomers, suggesting that the challenges faced are common across nursing homes. Yet, these negative points are overshadowed by the overwhelming acknowledgment of the compassionate care and support provided by the staff. The community seems to not only address the physical and mental health needs of its residents but also goes the extra mile to ensure emotional well-being and a strong sense of belonging, making it a highly recommended facility for those in need of rehabilitation and nursing care.
