Reviews

Residents and their families say:

This community has received a mix of feedback from its visitors, with many praising the attentiveness and professionalism of the doctors, nurses, and other staff members. Several reviewers highlighted the excellent quality of care received during emergency visits and for various treatments, including surgeries and physical therapy. Highlighted instances include commendable care for conditions like appendicitis, successful identification of a long-standing foot issue in a young patient, and compassionate treatment for hip fractures and bowel obstructions, showcasing the staff's expertise and patient-centered approach. The community's motto, "We treat you like family. You're one of our own," seemed to resonate with many who felt a personal touch in their care experiences. The cleanliness of the hospital and the efficiency in scheduling appointments and ER wait times also received positive remarks, making it a preferred institution for many.
However, there were also contentious points, primarily concerning individual staff attitudes and specific incidents that impacted the perceived quality of care. One reviewer expressed profound dissatisfaction with how their emergency visit was handled, feeling dismissed and stigmatized by the attending doctor. Another grievance involved the unexpected discharge from physical therapy by a substitute therapist, which seemed premature and not in line with the patient's ongoing recovery plan. Issues surrounding the handling of a special occasion for a nursing home resident pointed towards lapses in communication and sensitivity. Despite these concerns, the feedback indicates that for many, positive encounters and outcomes defined their experiences, with particular accolades for several doctors and nurses who went above and beyond in their patient care.
