Reviews

Residents and their families say:

This community has garnered positive feedback from many, highlighting the dedication and professionalism of the staff across various departments, including nursing, therapy, dietary aides, and administration. Many reviewers shared heartwarming stories of the compassionate care their loved ones received, particularly those with special needs like dementia, requiring memory care, or those in need of rehabilitation services. The consistent mention of the staff's friendliness, attentiveness, and genuine care suggests a strong commitment to resident well-being and comfort. The environment in memory care and assisted living facilities within this community was often described as clean, inviting, and reminiscent of home, making it easier for residents to adapt and thrive. Activities and therapy, including the involvement of therapy dogs, were highly appreciated, significantly contributing to the residents' quality of life.
However, not all feedback was positive. Some relatives of residents reported concerns regarding the quality of food, perceived staffing shortages, and instances of neglect or lack of timely care, particularly on weekends or due to inadequate staff-to-resident ratios. These issues, along with specific cases of medical concern like the development of bed sores and inadequate follow-through on therapy sessions as per Medicare guidelines, were sources of dissatisfaction and worry for some family members. Such feedback points to areas where improvements are necessary to ensure consistent care quality across all services and times.
Despite these criticisms, the overwhelming number of positive reviews underscores the community's strengths, especially in its specialized memory care facilities. The detailed praises for the attentiveness and kindness of the staff, the cleanliness of the facilities, the richness of activities available to residents, and the overall supportive atmosphere strongly suggest that many find this community to be a caring and nurturing place for their loved ones. The recurrent commendations for the staff's efforts, dedication, and professionalism reflect a community that, for the most part, seems to live up to its commitment to providing high-quality care and a welcoming environment for its residents.
