Reviews

Residents and their families say:

Many positive reflections emerge from reviews about this community, with several reviewers expressing satisfaction with the care their relatives received. The staff's compassionate approach, the cleanliness of the facility, and the quality of care stand out as highlights. Reviewers consistently praised the staff for their caring nature and the genuine concern they show towards residents, making the community feel like a family. The environment was repeatedly noted to be not only clean but also welcoming, with one reviewer specifically mentioning the absence of unpleasant odors, a common concern in similar facilities.
However, it wasn't without its criticisms. One significant challenge mentioned was related to the visiting restrictions imposed during the Covid-19 pandemic, which understandably, although a temporary measure, affected the experience negatively for some families. This limitation on visitation was seen as a downside, despite recognition that it was part of efforts to keep the community safe. Another general criticism, though not extensively detailed, suggested that not all feedback was positive; however, these comments appear to be in the minority and less specific compared to the abundance of praise for the facility and its staff.
The focus on ensuring the residents' well-being, through attentive and compassionate care, and maintaining a clean and odor-free environment, appears to define this community for many reviewers. Families expressed a sense of gratitude for the peace of mind they received, knowing their loved ones were in good hands. Challenges such as restricted visiting hours during a health crisis were acknowledged but seemed to take a backseat to the overarching satisfaction with the level of care and environment offered.
