Reviews

Residents and their families say:

This community has garnered a mix of feedback from residents and their families, with many expressing high satisfaction regarding the compassionate and high-quality care provided. Loved ones of residents frequently praise the patience and dedication of the staff, noting how well residents, including those with severe dementia, are treated and how happy they seem. The efforts to create a clean, safe, and healthy environment have not gone unnoticed, contributing to the community's positive reputation. Activities like Bingo, music parties, and allowing pets for visits are highlighted as aspects that significantly enhance the residents' quality of life. The staff's caring and compassionate nature towards both residents and their families, alongside their involvement and support within the wider community, are highly commended.
However, there are also concerns raised about certain aspects of the community. One review unfavorably compared the community to another facility, mentioning issues with hygiene, specifically concerning flies, and the quality of food, which was deemed harmful to diabetics. Complaints about the attitude of some staff members were also noted, suggesting a lack of empathy and rudeness when concerns were raised. These negative points, although fewer, suggest areas where the community could improve to ensure the wellbeing and satisfaction of all residents.
