Reviews

Residents and their families say:

This community has been praised for its helpful and friendly staff, who have been noted for their genuine concern and caring attitude across all departments, including nursing, physical therapy (PT), occupational therapy (OT), and building maintenance. Many reviewers emphasized the welcoming atmosphere created by the staff, which extended warmth and love to guests, making their stay as enjoyable as possible. The recent refresh in the facility's appearance with a new paint job has also been well received. The care provided is often described as exceptional, with staff members being caring, kind, and compassionate, making both residents and their families feel comfortable and at home. Activities and outings are planned with enthusiasm, offering a full and engaging experience for residents.
However, not all experiences were positive. Concerns were raised about the staff being overwhelmed and lacking in communication, which led to significant issues like missed medication and inadequate personal care. One reviewer specifically mentioned their father not receiving important medication and being neglected to the point of returning to the emergency room. Another point of contention was the inconsistency in food quality, varying from excellent to poor. Despite these concerns, many find this community a recommendable place for loved ones requiring short or long-term care, thanks to the hard work and compassion of the staff and the efforts made to ensure a positive and caring environment.
