Residents and their families say:

This community has received numerous positive remarks from family members of residents and a newly joined staff member, highlighting both the professional and caring nature of the team and the quality of the facility itself. Many reviewers praised the staff for their kindness, professionalism, and the excellent care provided, noting improvements in their loved ones' health and well-being. The community's cleanliness, welcoming atmosphere, and effective communication were also frequently mentioned, contributing to a sense of trust and satisfaction among those with family members in the facility. The various mentions of the staff, including nurses, aides, and physical therapists, suggest a well-rounded and attentive team that goes above and beyond in their duties.
While most of the feedback was overwhelmingly positive, there was a hint of concern expressed about the retention of key administrators, signaling some frustration with staff turnover. Nevertheless, that issue seems isolated when compared to the multitude of commendations about the attentive and effective care, the quality of the rehabilitation services, and the overall environment of the community. It’s evident that this community is appreciated for its dedicated and caring personnel, the thoroughness of its rehabilitation services, and its ability to maintain a clean and friendly setting that feels like home to residents and their families.
