Reviews

Residents and their families say:

This community has received a range of positive feedback from relatives of its residents, highlighting the kind and professional care provided. Many relatives expressed gratitude for the compassionate attention their loved ones received, noting that staff members were great and treated residents with kindness and respect. Relatives were happy to see their family members in good spirits and appreciated the effort staff made to answer questions and resolve any concerns.
However, there was a mention of needing to be proactive in communication to ensure no details were overlooked, hinting at occasional lapses in communication or organization. This suggests that while the care and attention from the nursing staff are generally commendable, there’s room for improvement in ensuring seamless coordination and communication. Despite this minor point, the overwhelming sentiment from reviews was one of appreciation for the dedicated care and support provided to residents and their families.
