Reviews

Residents and their families say:

This community has received a wide range of feedback from residents and their family members, reflecting varying experiences. Positive comments highlight the warmth, care, and attentiveness of the staff, who are frequently described as friendly, wonderful, and caring. Many reviewers appreciated the facility's comfortable setting, nice rooms, outdoor spaces, and the availability of engaging activities such as bingo, arts and crafts, trivia, and music programs. The facility was commended for serving as a welcoming and accommodating home away from home, providing a safe and loving environment for residents. It was also mentioned that the food offered is satisfactory and that the premises are immaculately clean and well maintained, contributing to a pleasant living experience. The community's commitment to prioritizing residents and ensuring they are well taken care of was commended by several reviewers, some of whom described it as a fantastic facility.
However, not all feedback was positive, with criticism focusing on specific areas of concern that included the quality of care and communication. One reviewer mentioned a lack of personal care given to their loved one, noting that patients were left in soiled diapers without water or entertainment, and no apologies were extended following the passing of a resident. Staffing issues were also noted, with regards to both alleged shortcomings in patient care and managerial decisions relating to hiring and wage adjustments. The quality of food and the environment's effort—or lack thereof—to engage residents in basic self-care activities like showering or dressing were critiqued. The facility was described by some as mediocre in terms of care quality relative to the costs associated. Despite these criticisms, many reviewers found the community to be a preferred choice for their loved ones, with its hospitable environment, comprehensive care options ranging from assisted living to skilled nursing, and the dedication of its staff.
In sum, while the community has faced some challenges and criticisms, particularly in staffing and certain aspects of resident care, the overwhelming majority of reviews paint a picture of a compassionate and dedicated staff, strong community engagement, and a clean, welcoming facility. The caring approach of the staff and the comprehensive nature of the care available are repeatedly emphasized as key strengths. Nonetheless, the expressed concerns suggest areas for potential improvement, especially in ensuring the highest standards of care and communication with residents and their families.
