Reviews

Residents and their families say:

This community has garnered a considerable amount of positive feedback from the friends and families of its residents, particularly veterans, for providing a welcoming, caring, and engaging environment. Many reviewers expressed gratitude for the compassionate and professional care offered to their loved ones, highlighting the staff's dedication to ensuring residents are well looked after, engaged, and respected. The facilities and grounds were consistently praised for being well maintained, offering a beautiful park atmosphere with ponds, park benches, a gazebo, flower gardens, military war relics, and a military museum, contributing to a serene and respectful setting honoring the veterans. The inclusion of varied activities, including scenic rides and field trips, was appreciated, creating a vibrant community life that residents and their families valued greatly. The admission process was described as smooth and stress-free by several reviewers, who noted the helpful and responsive nature of the staff during this critical period.
However, despite the overwhelmingly positive reviews, there were a few concerns raised, notably regarding management practices, which a reviewer felt were outdated. Another area highlighted for improvement was the food quality, which was mentioned in more than one review, suggesting room for enhancement in the dining experience. The nursing staff was described as forming cliques and offering pay below state average, which may point to areas where the administration could focus on improving staff satisfaction and retention. Additionally, a rare mention of rudeness from a telephone operator and the issue of insufficient orientation for new employees were the other negatives touched upon. These points, while isolated, suggest areas where minor adjustments could further bolster the community's reputation and the overall experience for residents and their families.
