Residents and their families say:

This community has garnered praise for its strong and responsive administration, dedication to cleanliness, and the appetizing quality of food provided to residents. Many reviewers have expressed satisfaction with the friendliness and caring nature of the staff, noting specific instances where employees went above and beyond to assist and make visitors feel welcome. The recent renovations, particularly in the short-term rehab rooms, along with the skilled and talented rehabilitation department staff, have also been highlighted as positive aspects of the facility. The community's efforts in maintaining strict COVID protocols, ensuring the safety and cleanliness of the environment, and the professional demeanor of the staff were commended.
However, the community does face challenges, especially regarding staff communication, particularly nurse to nurse, which some reviewers feel compromises the level of resident care and customer service. This issue of poor communication contributes to frustration and disappointment among family members. Concerns about under-staffing and a perception of average patient care were also raised, implying a need for improvement to reach a higher standard of service. Despite these concerns, there are touching accounts of how staff members have formed meaningful bonds with residents, creating a happy and lively atmosphere. Significant praise was given to individual staff members who consistently demonstrate care and dedication, reflecting positively on the community's capability to provide a loving and considerate environment for its residents.
In sum, while this community shines in areas such as staff friendliness, cleanliness, and food quality, it is clear that enhancements in communication and staffing could elevate the experience for residents and their families further. The heartfelt accounts of staff-resident interactions and improvements observed over time offer hope and reassurance that the community is on a positive trajectory, striving to offer the best care possible.
