Reviews

Residents and their families say:

This community has received numerous commendations for its attentive and caring staff across various departments, including nurses, doctors, physical therapists, maintenance, activities, cooks, and the reception team. Many reviewers highlight the staff's kindness, professionalism, and ability to go above and beyond in providing care. The physical environment of the facility, noted for its cleanliness and beautiful landscaping, alongside effective rehabilitation services, has made positive impressions on residents and their families. Residents have experienced significant improvements in their conditions, with one recounting how rehabilitation enabled them to walk again with minimal assistance. Additionally, the community's efforts in protecting residents from Covid-19 and its engaging activities and entertainment have been praised.
However, there are areas where the community has room for improvement. A few reviewers pointed out issues such as inconsistent communication and follow-through on requests, with one reviewer finding the communication 'horrible' and another noting multiple unfulfilled requests with no record kept. The complaint about lost clothing items due to inadequate marking processes indicates a need for better organizational practices in personal property management. Another concern mentioned involves the understaffing of the facility, particularly noticeable during nights and weekends. Despite these issues, the positive aspects, like commendable staff performance and the facility’s conducive environment for recovery and long-term care, generally outshine the negatives, making this community a recommended option for many.
