Reviews

Residents and their families say:

This community has garnered high praise for its compassionate and diligent care provided by both the nursing and hospice teams, particularly highlighted by family members of residents who felt their loved ones were in good hands during crucial times. Many reviews lauded specific members of the staff, including names such as Becca, who was described as bringing immense joy and comfort to the residents with her positivity and dedication. The effort and professionalism of the CNA's and other staff members like Rebecca, Marci, Kaylee, as well as physical therapists, were frequently mentioned, emphasizing their ability to go above and beyond in their roles. The environment of the community was noted to be very clean, aesthetically pleasing, and likened to a hotel rather than a nursing home, with a strong focus on making residents feel like family. The inclusion of residents in setting rehabilitation goals and the dedication seen across staff members in various departments underscore the personalized and caring approach taken by the community.
However, not all aspects were viewed positively. There were concerns about the care provided during night shifts or on weekends, with one reviewer feeling that their loved one did not receive the best care during these times. Additionally, while the compliments for the staff were abundant, there was a singular critique regarding the quality of the food that needs improvement. Despite these criticisms, the numerous commendations for the staff's attentiveness, the facility's cleanliness, and the overall atmosphere of care and support confirm the community's commitment to its residents' well-being and comfort.
