Reviews

Residents and their families say:

This community has received a mix of feedback from residents, their families, and professionals who have interacted with or referred patients. Many commend the community for its attentive and professional staff, high-quality care, and special effort during challenging times such as the pandemic. The nursing and administrative teams are praised for being patient, deeply caring, and taking their roles seriously, ensuring residents feel comfortable and well-cared for. Activities, both regular and holiday-themed, are highlighted as heartwarming additions that contribute positively to the residents' experiences. The physical therapy services are also praised for their excellence, and efforts to keep the facility clean and organized have not gone unnoticed. Moreover, the dedication of specific staff members and teams to resolve issues quickly and with empathy has greatly enhanced the satisfaction of many families and residents.
However, not all feedback is positive. There are concerns regarding communication, with some family members finding it difficult to get timely updates about their loved ones. Issues with returned phone calls and the provision of important information are notable points of dissatisfaction. Another concern is the care and attention to residents’ medical needs, with a report of a neglected wound leading to an infection. The environment's outdated and institutional feel, alongside reported short staffing issues, raises concerns about the overall resident experience. Some dissatisfaction was also expressed regarding the variety and quality of food, suggesting an area that could benefit from improvement.
In summary, while many appreciate the attentive care, professionalism, and kind-hearted staff making sincere efforts to create a positive living experience for residents, there are facets that need attention. Improvements in communication, staffing, and responding to medical concerns could further enhance the community's environment and resident satisfaction. The commitment shown by team members and the range of activities available are strong points that suggest a foundation of caring and dedication upon which to build.
