Reviews

Residents and their families say:

This community receives mixed feedback from its residents and their families, with a notable appreciation for cleanliness, the competence, and kindness of much of the staff, including the nurses, aides, and rehabilitation teams. There are specific mentions of the excellent care provided by various team members who not only offered professional support but also a compassionate and understanding approach during residents' stays. Several reviewers emphasized the personal touch added by staff such as the physical therapists who kept families updated on progress, the recreational director who made residents feel at ease, and administrative personnel who ensured comfort and necessary accommodations.
However, concerns were raised about the level of care on different floors, with one reviewer pointing out the stark difference between the first floor’s decent condition and the second floor's pitiful state in terms of staffing and patient attention. Other negative comments touched on issues such as mishandling by the nursing staff, an alarming incident involving a lack of compassion and professionalism from the director of nursing, and general grievances about certain aspects of care including the quality of food and cleanliness of the rooms. Despite the praise for many members of the staff and the quality of rehabilitation services, these criticisms highlight areas where improvement is significantly required to ensure a consistent standard of care throughout the facility.
