Reviews

Residents and their families say:

This community has received a mix of praise for its facilities, staff, and the level of care provided. Many reviewers highlighted the cleanliness, modernity, and comprehensive care services available, covering everything from independent living to long-term and assisted care. The array of activities, quality dining options, and the respectful, kind staff were frequently commended. Particularly, the community's ability to accommodate various levels of care, ensuring residents can transition smoothly without having to adjust to a new environment, was seen as a significant advantage. The peace of mind provided by the buy-in program, which safeguards residents against eviction if their funds deplete, was another often-praised feature.
However, there were several points of criticism, some of which were raised by multiple reviewers. Concerns were raised about staff responsiveness, particularly regarding how long it took for call lights to be answered. This issue was attributed to the community's size and the insufficient staff-to-resident ratio. Another significant concern was the perception that the staff did not make enough effort to get to know the residents on a personal level, impacting the sense of community and individual care. The restrictions and rigid protocols for visitation, especially under COVID-19 precautions, were criticized for being too harsh and negatively affecting residents' mental health. There were also comments on the decline in food quality since changing vendors, the extra costs associated with 'extras', and a feeling that the care, particularly for dementia patients, might not meet the requisite standards for some, suggesting a need for improvement in these areas. Despite these issues, the community was often recommended for its overall quality of care and facilities.
