Reviews

Residents and their families say:

This community is frequently praised for its caring and professional staff, both in terms of administering care and in managing the facility. Many reviewers highlight the positive environment, the attentiveness and responsiveness of the team to the needs and concerns of residents and their families, and the clean, well-maintained premises. The provision of updates on residents' progress, the handling of COVID-19 protocols effectively, and the personal touch in treating residents like family are repeatedly commended. The meals served are appreciated for their quality, and the facility is noted for its open communication, including weekly updates on health and safety measures.
However, concerns were voiced about certain areas needing improvement. A couple of reviews mentioned issues with cleanliness, specifically citing a strong urine smell in the dementia unit and a dirty visitor's restroom. Additionally, there was a mention of a grumpy staff member, though this appears to be an isolated incident. Despite these points of criticism, the overriding sentiment from the majority of the feedback is extremely positive, focusing on the compassionate care and dedication of the staff to both residents' physical and emotional well-being. Staff shortages and the wish for more support in housekeeping were noted, yet it seems the community is actively working through these challenges.
