Reviews

Residents and their families say:

This community has received a variety of feedback from users regarding its services, particularly around COVID testing, medical care, and in some areas, psychiatric support. Many users praised the community for its easy, quick, and organized processes, highlighting the friendly and efficient staff, smooth registration, and fast turnaround times for test results, in some cases as quick as an hour. The convenience of drive-through testing and the commitment to keeping promises on test result delivery times, even during high demand periods, were frequently commended. Additionally, several reviewers expressed gratitude for the professional and compassionate care provided by the medical team, which made testing, vaccination, and other medical experiences less stressful and more positive.
However, some users shared less favorable experiences, pointing out issues such as slow results for COVID testing in a few instances, unorganized aspects, and long waits for psychiatric evaluations. A specific concern noted was the delay in seeing a psychiatrist and the impact of the waiting time, particularly on children needing evaluations. Despite these criticisms, the warmth and helpfulness of the staff were often mentioned, suggesting that, while there are areas for improvement, the efforts and dedication of the community's team are recognized and appreciated.
Overall, the feedback underscores the community's strong points in providing fast, friendly, and efficient services across various medical and testing needs, with a majority of users satisfied with their experiences. While there are criticisms, notably around certain administrative inefficiencies and the quality of psychiatric service reactions, the positive comments about the staff's attitude and the quality of care indicate that this community is a valued resource. The community seems to take its role seriously, striving to offer supportive and timely care, though there's room for refinement in its operations and patient interactions.
