Reviews

Residents and their families say:

This community has received high praise for its attentive and caring staff, cleanliness, and the range of amenities and activities it offers to its residents. Many reviewers expressed satisfaction with the quality of care provided to their loved ones, highlighting the professionalism and kindness of the staff across various departments, from rehabilitation services to nursing and administrative personnel. The community's ability to facilitate a welcoming and warm atmosphere through clean and private rooms, a great selection of snacks, and engaging activities, such as group therapies and socialization opportunities, was frequently cited as a significant positive. Family members appreciated the peace of mind that came from knowing their relatives were in good hands, describing the staff as not only competent but also compassionate and patient.
However, there were some concerns raised regarding the food service, with multiple mentions of standing orders being ignored and some dissatisfaction with the speed of response from aides or nurses when assistance was needed. A few reviewers mentioned a shortage of staff, and one particular review noted a negative interaction with a CNA. Furthermore, a strong urine odor in the nursing facility was reported, indicating possible cleanliness issues in certain areas. Despite these criticisms, the community's efforts to maintain a supportive and caring environment were acknowledged, with particular appreciation for the staff's friendly and helpful nature. The overall sentiment suggests that while there may be areas for improvement, especially regarding food service and staff responsiveness, the community is highly regarded for its dedication to providing a clean, secure, friendly, and professional care setting.
