Reviews

Residents and their families say:

This community receives widespread acclaim for its professional, kind, and compassionate staff. Many reviewers, including interns and volunteers, have highlighted the exceptional care and attention that residents receive. Positive experiences range from the thoroughness of the occupational therapy, the cleanliness of the facility, the quality of the food, to the overall atmosphere of love and dignity afforded to every resident. Whether for rehabilitation or long-term care, the dedication of the healthcare teams, including nurses, CNA’s, and therapists, has been consistently praised for making residents feel respected and genuinely cared for. The attentive and professional behavior of the PCA’s and the success of rehabilitation services have also been noted as key strengths of this community. Interactions with the staff are often described as caring and personal, with several reviewers mentioning the warm, attentive nature of the care their loved ones received, which significantly contributed to positive rehabilitation outcomes.
However, amidst these positive reviews, there were significant concerns regarding patient/family relations and communication issues. One reviewer detailed a distressing experience involving their grandmother's lack of assistance and oversight, leading to a dangerous situation. They also reported a breakdown in communication between the staff and the family, expressing frustration over not being adequately informed about the care and the progress of their loved one. Issues of understaffing and the resultant neglect were also mentioned, adding a layer of concern regarding the community's ability to consistently provide high-quality care. Despite the multitude of positive experiences shared, these critical points suggest areas where the community may need to focus on improvement, primarily in enhancing communication with families and ensuring adequate staffing to meet the needs of all residents.
