Reviews

Residents and their families say:

This community receives high praise for its cleanliness, professionalism, and the quality of care provided by its staff. Reviewers repeatedly commend the knowledgeable and caring nature of employees across various roles, noting that these attributes contribute to a welcoming and comfortable environment for residents. The attention to cleanliness, with daily disinfecting routines, is specifically highlighted as a standout feature, making it a top choice for those in search of nursing or rehab care for their loved ones.
However, not everything mentioned is entirely positive. There are a few isolated complaints, such as concerns about unprofessional behavior among management staff and the condition of the facility, described by one as a bit outdated, with small and shared rooms. Another specific issue raised involves the lack of rehab services on weekends and a singular incident regarding an unresponsive nurse call button, which seemed to tarnish the overall experience for one family. Despite these criticisms, the positive aspects, particularly the staff's commitment to quality care and the facility's cleanliness, dominate the feedback.
