Reviews

Residents and their families say:

This community has garnered attention for its excellent staff and the strong sense of care and commitment they display towards residents. Many reviewers have highlighted specific staff members for going above and beyond in their roles, creating a warm and supportive environment. The dedication shown by the staff is evident, with descriptions of workers being dependable, compassionate, and always ready to assist residents with their needs. A common theme among the positive remarks is the sense of family and community created by the staff, which makes residents feel welcome, safe, and well taken care of. The facility's cleanliness, the quality of rehabilitation services, and the attentiveness to residents' well-being during medical procedures or rehabilitation have also been praised. Activities such as bingo, the opportunity for religious services, and the general friendly atmosphere contribute to a comforting and enjoyable living environment.
However, despite the overwhelmingly positive feedback about the staff and facilities, there are concerns that have been raised by more than one reviewer. Issues such as difficulties in accessing medications, challenges with meal services, and the inconvenience of having multiple residents share a bathroom were mentioned. These points of criticism suggest areas where the community could focus on improving the resident experience. Despite these concerns, the general consensus points to a community that deeply values the welfare and satisfaction of its residents, driven by a compassionate and dedicated team.
