Residents and their families say:

This community has received a plethora of positive feedback from residents and their families, highlighting the compassionate and high-quality care provided. Many reviews praise the staff for their kindness, patience, and ability to engage with residents in a caring and respectful manner. Families have felt welcomed and part of the community, noting the clean, cheerful environment and the range of activities that keep residents active and involved. The staff's dedication is frequently mentioned, with comments on their willingness to go above and beyond in providing care and support, not just to residents but to their families as well. The community has a family-oriented atmosphere and is noted for treating residents with dignity and respect, making it a preferred choice for both rehab and long-term care.
However, it's important to note a significant concern raised in one review about changes following the sale of the nursing home. These changes reportedly led to a decrease in care quality and increased workload for the remaining staff, ultimately prompting the decision to transfer a resident to another facility. Despite this, the overall sentiment remains overwhelmingly positive, with residents and their families expressing satisfaction with the care received. The community is often compared favorably to other facilities, with repeated mentions of its cleanliness, the effective management, and the genuinely caring nature of the staff. The experiences shared by both current and former staff members, as well as residents' families, underscore the exceptional care and supportive environment that characterizes this community, setting it apart as a highly recommended option for those in need of nursing or rehabilitative care.
