Reviews

Residents and their families say:

This community has garnered a blend of reviews, with many highlighting the compassionate treatment and quality care its staff provides to residents and their families. Family members and residents appreciated the staff's attentiveness and excellent communication, often noting how they were treated like family. Positive experiences include the community's swift and helpful response to urgent family needs, effective physical rehabilitation services, and active involvement in supporting both residents and local community programs such as weekly exercise classes and local business support. The staff's welcoming nature and their efforts to create a warm, engaging environment for both short-term rehab patients and long-term residents were frequently commended.
However, several concerns were also raised, particularly regarding staffing levels and quality of services. Multiple reviews indicated that there might be inadequate staff numbers, affecting the provision of care, such as fewer showers per week than expected and challenges in housekeeping, laundry, and meal services. The quality of meals, described by some as intolerable and awful, and the use of disposable dining ware, were points of dissatisfaction. Despite these issues, one resident expressed hope that these problems could be addressed and improved, suggesting a sense of community resilience. The contrasting opinions reflect a facility that, while praised for its care and staff's kindness, faces significant operational challenges that impact the overall resident experience.
