Reviews

Residents and their families say:

This community has received a mix of feedback focusing primarily on positive aspects such as the friendly and exceptionally helpful staff, high-quality care, and satisfactory food options. Many reviewers highlighted the staff's kindness, and the culinary services were generally well-regarded, especially the fresh soups, salads, and the willingness of the chef to accommodate personal tastes. The care during the recent COVID crisis was mentioned positively, indicating responsiveness and engagement from both nursing and administrative staff. The community was appreciated for its cleanliness and the therapeutic services received by residents during their rehabilitation stays.
However, there were some concerns raised, including issues with the timeliness of meals for joining family members and dissatisfaction with beverage quality, where drinks were described as watered down and occasional shortages of food were reported. One reviewer pointed out the need for better maintenance of the building and another voiced concerns about the decline in care quality over the last year, indicating slippage in housekeeping standards and the handling of healthcare plans. The sticky floors and the situation with the kitchen staff walking out, leading to residents being served cold food on paper plates, were specific points of criticism raised by more than one reviewer, suggesting an area where improvements could be beneficial. Despite these critiques, the sense of community, the dedication of the staff, and the active encouragement for family involvement in caregiving were underscored, painting a picture of a place where many feel their loved ones are cared for and valued.
