Reviews

Residents and their families say:

This community has garnered a mix of feedback from visitors and relatives of residents, with several glowing testimonials highlighting the dedication and quality of the staff, improvements in food quality, and the offering of various activities for residents. Many reviews praised the caring nature of the community's staff, with therapists and nurses going above and beyond their duties to provide excellent care and make residents feel like family. The enhancements in culinary services, particularly with the introduction of a new executive chef, were also positively noted, alongside the overall efforts to improve employee morale and the quality of life for the residents. Activities and the competency of the physical therapy department were appreciated for their role in enhancing residents' lifestyles.
However, the positive experiences were not universal. One significant concern was raised about the safety measures in place, with an unfortunate incident involving a resident falling out of bed due to the absence of rails leading to serious consequences. This point casts a shadow on the otherwise commendable care mentioned by other reviewers. Additionally, there was difficulty in communication noted by a reviewer struggling to reclaim personal belongings after a resident’s passing, suggesting an area requiring improvement in responsiveness and administrative handling. Despite these issues, the majority of comments reflect a community that is perceived as welcoming, professional, and deeply committed to the well-being of its residents.
