Reviews

Residents and their families say:

This community has garnered a variety of feedback from both employees and visitors, with the majority highlighting its strengths and a few areas for improvement. The most praised aspect of this community is the dedicated and caring staff. Multiple reviews commend the employees for their hard work and exceptional care, describing the environment as family-like with a team that goes above and beyond in looking after the residents, akin to their own family members. The cleanliness of the facility and the quality of the rehabilitation services have also been singled out for praise. The physical therapy department, in particular, receives accolades for its caring and knowledgeable staff. Such positive comments suggest that this community stands out for its supportive atmosphere, dedicated care, and well-maintained environment.
However, there are concerns regarding professionalism among the staff and instances of perceived unprofessional behavior, specifically mentioning preferential treatment and a lack of support for new CNAs by the existing staff. Furthermore, there's mention of the community being understaffed, which could potentially impact the quality of care and the workload of the current staff. Despite these criticisms, the positive aspects, such as the staff’s compassion, the facility's cleanliness, and the high-quality rehabilitation services, were more commonly highlighted across the reviews.
In sum, while the community is well-regarded for its exceptional staff and clean, caring environment, feedback points to areas where improvement could be beneficial, such as addressing issues of professionalism and ensuring adequate staffing levels to maintain the high standard of care it strives for. These constructive criticisms, however, are overshadowed by the overwhelming number of positive experiences shared by both employees and visitors, indicating a strong community spirit and a commitment to excellence in resident care.
