Reviews

Residents and their families say:

The community has received high praise for its friendly and welcoming staff, with many reviewers expressing gratitude for the exceptional care their loved ones received. Reviewers repeatedly highlight the staff's kindness, attentiveness, and the extra efforts they make to ensure the comfort and happiness of both residents and their families. The environment is noted to be clean and well-maintained, devoid of the unpleasant odors often associated with care facilities. Most family members found peace of mind knowing their relatives were in good hands, with several remarking on the improvement in their loved ones' happiness and well-being since joining the community.
However, some concerns were mentioned, such as the facility appearing a bit outdated and some areas, like the interior, needing improvement. Issues with certain aspects of care and maintenance, like a clogged sink drain and long waits for assistance, were brought up by more than one reviewer. Additionally, comments about the facility being understaffed, leading to overworked staff and long waits for basic needs, were noted. Concerns about the adequacy of the physical space for residents in wheelchairs were also expressed, including the inadequacy of the bathroom facilities and some equipment needing repair or replacement. Despite these issues, the positive experiences shared by most reviewers, highlighting the care, cleanliness, and the commitment of the staff to their residents, seem to outweigh the negatives.
