Reviews

Residents and their families say:

This community receives high praise for its exceptional and compassionate staff, who are consistently noted for going the extra mile to help not only the residents but also their families, creating a safe and supportive environment during stressful times. The positive atmosphere, the variety of activities, including a memorable amateur talent show, and the cleanliness of the facility are frequently mentioned by reviewers. The nursing and rehab staff are commended for their knowledge, kindness, and the excellent care they provide, making residents feel at home and families feel reassured about the care their loved ones receive. The meals, however, receive mixed reviews, with several mentioning that the food could be improved, indicating it as an area that needs attention.
One criticism that stood out was the preference for having a separate wing for rehab-only residents, as the mixing of rehab and nursing home residents did not meet the expectations of some. Despite the overall high regard for the staff and environment, this particular point was raised as a detractor from the otherwise positive experiences shared. Importantly, these reviews underscore the community's commitment to creating a healing environment with a friendly, attentive approach, though it suggests room for improvement in terms of meal quality and the configuration of resident accommodations to better suit rehabilitating individuals' needs.
