Reviews

Residents and their families say:

This community has received a range of feedback from its residents' families and friends, highlighting primarily the compassionate, professional, and attentive nature of the staff across various departments including nursing, therapy, and administration. Many reviewers praised the cleanliness of the facility, the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff, and the range of activities available to residents, enhancing their quality of life. The rehabilitation services, especially physical therapy, have been lauded for their effectiveness and the confidence they instill in residents. The administrative staff's dedication to addressing financial concerns and keeping families informed about their loved ones' care plans and health status was also noted as a strong point. Families have expressed gratitude for the staff's loving and compassionate care towards residents with long-term conditions such as Alzheimer's, appreciating the efforts made to facilitate visitations despite COVID restrictions.
However, some concerns were mentioned, primarily regarding the apparent understaffing issue which seems to lead to staff members being in a constant rush and possibly not having enough time to spend with each patient. The physical condition of the facility and its furnishings were also criticized, described by one reviewer as looking "decrepit." While these negative points were noted, they appear to be outweighed by the positive experiences of most reviewers, who emphasize the overall caring attitude of the staff and the effective management of the residents' care needs, making this community a recommendable option for those seeking a place for their loved ones.
