Residents and their families say:

This community has garnered a wealth of positive feedback from most residents and visitors alike, with many praising its cleanliness, the quality of care provided, and the professionalism of its staff. Family members and residents have shared stories of warm welcomes, exceptional rehabilitation services, diligent and caring therapists, and a positive, nurturing environment that greatly assists with recovery and rehabilitation. Meals and desserts were particularly highlighted as enjoyable aspects of the stay, implying a focus on quality of life alongside healthcare. The staff is commended for being friendly, kind, and attentive, going above and beyond to ensure the comfort and rapid progress of residents. Numerous activities, alongside comprehensive physical therapy, have been mentioned as key factors in keeping residents engaged and happy.
However, there has been at least one instance of frustration regarding communication, where repeated attempts to contact a resident through the front desk were unsuccessful, indicating potential areas for improvement in customer service and responsiveness. Despite this, the abundance of firsthand accounts of positive experiences, including detailed testimonies of personal care and attention from various staff members, illustrates a deeply committed and effective team. Visitors recommend experiencing the community firsthand, suggesting that personal visits could dispel any negative perceptions. The community, therefore, stands out for its dedication to resident care, a wide range of rehabilitative services, and a welcoming atmosphere that supports both physical recovery and personal well-being.
