Reviews

Residents and their families say:

This community has received numerous positive statements from reviewers, particularly highlighting the care provided in the rehabilitation unit. Many reviewers were impressed with the professionalism and responsiveness of all staff members. The rehabilitation services, including physical and occupational therapy, received high praise for their detailed and patient-specific planning. The environment was also described as beautiful, with apartments and facilities that left a strong impression. Former patients and their families were appreciative of the continual support and follow-up calls they received after discharge, underscoring a sense of personal attention and care. Specifically, the nursing care was described as attentive, caring, and consistently supportive, which resonated with those who have had an experience with the rehab services.
However, there is an inconsistent picture when it comes to long-term care. One reviewer, contrasting sharply with the rehab-focused reviews, critiqued the hygiene care for long-term residents as subpar and inadequate, mentioning a specific incident related to unmet basic hygiene needs. Concerns were also raised about the food provision, with instances of residents going hungry mentioned. This reviewer emphasized the importance of having an advocate for long-term residents to ensure their needs are met, suggesting room for improvement in this area of care. Despite these criticisms, the community was highly recommended by several other reviewers for its rehab services, suggesting a discrepancy in experiences between those in rehab and long-term care.
