Reviews

Residents and their families say:

This community has garnered high praise from numerous reviewers for its exceptional rehabilitation services, particularly for knee and hip replacements, as well as other surgeries. Reviewers repeatedly highlighted the attentive and skilled staff, including nurses, physical therapists (PT), occupational therapists (OT), and aides, who are seen as the best in their field. They were credited for their empathy, understanding, and not pushing patients beyond their limits. The positive atmosphere created by the staff, alongside the effective communication and professional management, significantly contributed to the patients' recovery and overall experience. The food also received commendations for its quality, indicating that the kitchen staff plays a vital part in making the stay at the community more enjoyable.
However, there were a few points of criticism, including a minor issue with the wait time upon arrival for one patient and a slight disappointment with the same. This criticism did not detract from the overall positive feedback, which focused on the excellent level of care, clean and welcoming facility, and the comprehensive and compassionate approach to rehabilitation. The community's setting and its emphasis on creating a supportive and uplifting environment for healing were additional aspects that reviewers appreciated. Moreover, the detailed and individualized care plan, including both physical and occupational therapy, has been instrumental in the remarkable progress and satisfaction of patients, leading to strong recommendations for this community's services.
