Reviews

Residents and their families say:

This community has garnered praise for its attentive and professional care, exemplified by various personal and professional testimonials. Many highlight the cleanliness of the facility, the innovative specialty programs, and the personalized attention given to residents, fostering a sense of family among staff and those cared for. The administration's responsive communication and efficiency in addressing issues are frequently noted, setting this community apart, especially in comparison to facilities run by larger corporate entities. The involvement of the family that runs the community is highly valued for its contribution to the swift resolution of problems, as well as for creating an environment that closely approximates the care one would offer a loved one.
However, some criticisms have been voiced, primarily concerning staffing levels which have been described as insufficient, leading to delays in care. Other concerns include incidents of theft, variable staff attitudes ranging from fabulous to disrespectful, and a lack of ambitious physical therapy, which may hinder the achievement of rehabilitation goals. The food quality was also critiqued for being unappetizing, contributing to resident weight loss. These issues notwithstanding, many reviewers remain confident in recommending the facility, citing mainly positive experiences and outcomes. It’s worth noting that the involvement of an advocate or family member seems to play a crucial role in ensuring the well-being of residents within this community.
