Reviews

Residents and their families say:

This community is consistently described as one filled with compassionate, hardworking caregivers and staff who provide exceptional care and attention to residents, contributing positively to their rehabilitation and daily lives. Many highlight the wonderful atmosphere created by caring individuals, from the caregivers to the activities director, who make significant differences in residents' lives. The facility is acknowledged not for its physical grandeur but for the quality of its people and the genuine care they offer, making it a trusted environment for loved ones. The community has also been adaptive, creating thoughtful accommodations for outside visiting to ensure safety and comfort for both residents and visitors, which has been especially appreciated during difficult times.
However, there are some criticisms. A few reviewers voiced concerns about specific staff members who could appear less approachable or intimidating. While most of the feedback about the nursing and administrative staff was positive, a couple of mentions were made about the demeanor of certain staff members, suggesting a need for improvement in approachability and interaction. Additionally, there was a mention of a preference for care on specific floors, indicating variability in the care experience depending on the location within the facility. Despite these few areas of critique, the community is celebrated for its dedicated staff, including commendations for its improvements and the active efforts to engage residents in activities that significantly enhance their quality of life.
