Reviews

Residents and their families say:

This community has garnered a plethora of positive remarks from visitors and family members of residents, highlighting its cleanliness, the professionalism, and friendliness of the staff, and the quality of care provided. Many reviewers express gratitude for the warmth and competence of the personnel, noting that everyone from the front desk staff to social workers, nurses, and therapists goes above and beyond to ensure residents feel at home and well looked after. The physical environment of the facility is frequently described as beautiful, well-maintained, and offering a comforting and welcoming atmosphere, conducive to rehabilitation and well-being. The physical therapy team, in particular, receives high praise for their effectiveness and dedication to helping residents regain their strength and mobility.
However, it's important to note that despite the overall positive feedback, there are a few areas of concern mentioned by reviewers. Issues related to understaffing, delays in response from nursing staff, and instances of inadequate communication about care plans and discharge instructions were highlighted. Some reviewers also pointed out that certain rooms and amenities could benefit from updates or improvements. These criticisms, however, are balanced by a strong appreciation for the facility's ability to provide excellent rehabilitation services, nutritional meals, and a generally positive and supportive environment for recovery and care.
