Reviews

Residents and their families say:

This community receives mixed reviews from families and individuals who have experienced their services. Many reviewers praise the facility for its cleanliness, professionalism, and the high level of care provided. They highlight the compassion and dedication of the nursing staff, the attentiveness of the doctors, and the overall ability of the team to make residents feel comfortable and valued. The positive comments often mention the exceptional communication between the staff and family members, underlining how this transparency and attentiveness have eased the stress and improved the care experience for both residents and their loved ones. Specific staff members are noted for going above and beyond in their roles, offering not just professional care but also emotional support to residents and their families.
However, not all feedback is glowing. One reviewer expresses significant dissatisfaction with the level of communication, describing it as lacking, which has led to frustration and a desire to remove their loved one from the facility. There are comments about staff being distracted and not responding promptly to residents' needs. Another review speaks about a negative shift in the quality of care over time, noting a decline in staffing quality, issues with food service, and the loss of personal items without reimbursement. Despite these criticisms, the facility is often commended for specific areas such as physical therapy, cleanliness, and efforts to accommodate dietary needs, suggesting that while there is room for improvement in certain aspects, there are also many strengths and positive experiences reported by families and residents.
