Reviews

Residents and their families say:

This community has garnered praise for its attentive, friendly, and engaged staff, with several reviewers expressing deep gratitude for the care their loved ones received. The rehabilitation department, in particular, was highlighted as excellent, boasting professional, experienced, and knowledgeable staff that significantly contributed to positive patient outcomes. The compassion and kindness displayed by the staff towards both residents and their families were noted across multiple accounts, creating a supportive and caring environment. The commitment of the staff, including nurses, PT and OT specialists, and administrative personnel, played a crucial role in the well-being and satisfaction of the residents. Families appreciated the liberal visitation policy, which was seen as an advantage over other facilities.
However, communication was a recurring point of criticism, cited as a major area in need of improvement. Issues mentioned included the lack of direct means to contact staff, unanswered messages, and the absence of regular updates from the medical team unless specifically requested by the families. This led to frustrations, especially concerning the handling of paperwork and the need for families to be physically present to advocate for their loved ones effectively. Despite these challenges, the individual acts of kindness and professionalism from certain staff members resonated deeply with reviewers, affirming their decision to choose this community during challenging times. While there were mentions of excellent care and notable staff members contributing positively to the experiences of residents and their families, the emphasis on enhancing communication stands out as crucial for future satisfaction.
