Reviews

Residents and their families say:

This community has garnered positive remarks for its staff's dedication and the quality of care provided to residents. Many reviewers have praised the team's commitment to ensuring residents are well taken care of, highlighting the facility's range of activities and therapy options available. The presence of a great team, including a social worker praised for effective communication and swift action to address concerns, contributes to a supportive environment for both residents and their families. Additionally, the hospitality and care extended to new residents, as noted by a reviewer who moved their family members to this community, demonstrate the staff's effort to create a welcoming and nurturing atmosphere.
However, there have been instances of communication issues, specifically regarding the handling of information about residents' movements to and from the facility for medical reasons. One reviewer expressed dissatisfaction with how their concerns were managed, mentioning a lack of communication and an unpleasant interaction with the social worker. This point of contention, noted in repeated mentions by the same reviewer, suggests an area for improvement in maintaining open and respectful communication channels with family members, especially those holding significant roles in the residents' lives, like a Durable Power of Attorney (DPOA). Despite this, the positive aspects related to the care and overall environment of the community remain prominent in the feedback from multiple reviewers.
