Residents and their families say:

The community has received numerous positive reviews from visitors and family members of residents, highlighting the friendly and professional demeanor of the staff. From the welcoming nursing staff to the attentive administrators, the commitment to quality care is evident. Visitors noted improvements in the facility, including its cleanliness and the introduction of new, friendly faces among the staff, which has contributed to a more positive environment for the residents. The dedication of the staff extends across various departments, with the therapy department, social services, and admissions receiving specific praise for their exceptional service and friendliness. The recent improvements have been attributed to the new administration, which has been well-received by both visitors and residents.
However, there are areas where the community still faces challenges. One consistent concern highlighted by multiple reviewers pertains to the staffing levels, especially during weekends, indicating a need for more personnel to maintain the high standard of care. Additionally, the behavior of some CNAs and issues with the facility's odor in certain areas were mentioned, suggesting room for improvement in these aspects to enhance the overall resident experience further. Despite these concerns, many reviewers have acknowledged the positive changes and the efforts made by the community to address feedback, with an emphasis on the newly added staff members who speak Spanish, enhancing communication with a broader range of residents.
In summary, while there are areas that need attention, such as staffing and maintaining a consistently pleasant environment, the community has made considerable strides in improving its services and ambiance.
