Reviews

Residents and their families say:

This community has received a high level of praise from various reviewers for its professionalism, care quality, and the dedication of its staff across multiple departments including nursing, administration, rehabilitation, and social services. Many reviewers highlighted the staff's commitment to patients' recovery goals, particularly emphasizing the effectiveness of the physical, occupational, and speech therapy teams in aiding significant improvements in patient health and mobility. The administration team was commended for its efficient handling of admissions and responsiveness to inquiries, ensuring a smooth transition for residents and their families. Reviewers were particularly appreciative of the staff's compassionate approach and the personal attention given to residents, which contributed to a comforting and supportive atmosphere.
On the other hand, some concerns were raised about occasional delays in response times to patient calls, attributed to staff shortages, and there were mentions of outdated facilities in certain areas. One specific negative experience involved a patient feeling unsafe due to perceived lack of attention to a developing infection, leading to a hospital admission shortly after discharge. However, these criticisms were not commonly reported across the majority of reviews. Praise for the community's cleanliness, enjoyable meals, and the special efforts made by the staff to accommodate residents' needs were recurrent themes. The appreciation extended to specific mentions of the administration's effectiveness in communicating and handling logistical matters during particularly challenging times, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, where the community's efforts in maintaining a safe environment were acknowledged. Overall, the gratitude expressed for the thoughtful and comprehensive care provided at this community was a consistent sentiment throughout the reviews.
