Reviews

Residents and their families say:

This community has received a range of feedback from visitors, residents, and family members, most of which tilt towards positive experiences, especially emphasizing the caring and professional staff, cleanliness, and the array of activities provided for residents. Many reviewers highlighted the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff across various roles, from the nursing and rehabilitative personnel to the reception and management teams. The physical and occupational therapy teams, in particular, were commended for their effectiveness and careful attention to patient needs. The facility’s commitment to maintaining a clean, warm, and comfortable environment was also pointed out, with views and room conditions often described as satisfactory. Family members and friends of residents have noticed the personal attention their lovedones received, along with the effort made by staff to engage them in activities and maintain their well-being, even amidst challenging circumstances like the COVID-19 pandemic.
However, not all feedback was glowing. There were multiple criticisms regarding the quality and temperature of the food, with suggestions for improvement in offering residents a choice in their daily meals. Concerns were raised about instances of inadequate staff responsiveness, particularly regarding the assistance needed for basic activities and care, which sometimes led to discomfort or health issues for the residents. Communication lapses with some social workers and rudeness from certain staff members were also mentioned, affecting the overall experience for both residents and their visiting family members. Notably, complaints about these issues seemed to contrast sharply with the otherwise positive testimonials, pointing to specific areas for improvement rather than overshadowing the many aspects of care and service that were praised.
