Reviews

Residents and their families say:

This community has received a mix of feedback from residents and their family members, with many positive statements highlighting the care, professionalism, and friendliness of the staff. Several reviews noted the exceptional care provided by various staff members, including nurses, aides, and activity coordinators, who went above and beyond to ensure residents felt loved, respected, and well-cared for. The cleanliness of the facility and the quality of the rehabilitation services were also praised, contributing to a positive environment for both short-term rehab patients and long-term residents. The community's efforts to maintain communication with family members, especially during challenging times like the COVID-19 pandemic, were particularly appreciated. The use of technology such as FaceTime to connect residents with their families and the attentive, compassionate staff made significant positive impacts on both the residents' and their families' experiences.
However, the reviews also contained some criticisms, most notably regarding the quality of care on weekends, which was attributed to the use of agency staff who were described as not friendly and less attentive. Concerns were raised about the adequacy of assistance with feeding and medication management during these times. The food quality and language barriers with some staff members were mentioned as areas needing improvement. These negative points, though fewer compared to the positive comments, suggest areas where this community could focus to enhance the overall resident and family experience. Despite these criticisms, the strong sense of community, the diligent work of the staff, and the facility's amenities indicate a commitment to providing a caring and supportive environment for its residents.
