Reviews

Residents and their families say:

This community garners positive remarks for its caring and professional staff, high-quality food, and clean facilities. Numerous reviewers have praised the way their loved ones are treated, highlighting the attentiveness and professionalism of the staff. One reviewer specifically noted the happiness and great physical therapy their friend received, along with the breathtaking view of a golf course from the window, making it feel like a significant upgrade from hospital settings. The food received multiple commendations for being of restaurant quality, and the environment is consistently described as friendly and welcoming. The dedication of the staff, even in challenging times such as managing COVID-19 restrictions, was acknowledged, conveying a sense of the community's commitment to safety and wellbeing.
However, some challenges were mentioned, such as the facility being short-staffed, which seems to be a recurring concern among a few reviewers. This has led to a feeling that the basic care needs are met but without the additional effort that goes "above and beyond." Furthermore, the activities department was suggested to improve by offering more stimulating activities throughout the day to prevent residents from feeling bored and complacent. Despite these areas for improvement, the community still stands out for its cleanliness, the friendly demeanor of its staff, and the overall care provided to its residents.
The feedback illustrates a community that is generally well-regarded by visitors, with very few negative comments. The critiques that were mentioned, such as the staffing issue and the need for more stimulating activities for residents, are areas where the community could focus on improving. Nonetheless, the positive aspects, such as the quality of care, the cleanliness of the facility, and the excellent food, overwhelmingly dominate the feedback, painting a picture of a caring and professional environment for residents.
