Reviews

Residents and their families say:

This community has received a mix of feedback from residents and their families, highlighting both the strengths and areas for improvement within its care and facilities. A recurring praise across several reviews is the dedication and compassion of the staff, including those in the physical and occupational therapy departments, who are commended for their professionalism, attention to detail, and personalized care plans tailored to each patient's needs. There is special acknowledgement of individuals who go beyond their duties to provide comfort and support, such as an act of kindness where a staff member facilitated a video call for a farewell between a terminally ill patient and their spouse during a snowstorm, a gesture that left a lasting impression of gratitude.
However, some concerns have been raised regarding the cleanliness of the facility and the aging décor, suggesting a need for modernization and better maintenance. Additionally, the staff-to-patient ratio has been a point of contention, with some reviewers indicating that the low number of staff members affects the timeliness and quality of care, including delayed responses to call bells. Mixing short-term rehabilitation patients with long-term care residents has also been mentioned as potentially discouraging for those who are in the facility for temporary rehabilitation. Despite these issues, many have appreciated the vibrant activities offered to patients and the overall spirited environment created by the staff, even if there are areas that notably require attention and improvement.
