Reviews

Residents and their families say:

This community has garnered appreciation for its exceptional care and support, particularly from family members of residents and visitors. Many reviews highlight the kindness, professionalism, and dedication of the staff, ranging from nurses and caregivers to rehabilitation therapists and administrative personnel. Special mention is made of the excellent care provided in the Alzheimer's unit, with staff members taking the time to engage in personal activities such as grooming, playing music, and ensuring residents are neat, clean, and comfortable. The rehab team also receives praise for its ability to provide effective treatment enabling residents to regain strength and mobility. The community's efforts to involve residents in various activities and events, thereby maintaining a lively and engaging atmosphere, are also commended. Visitors appreciate the cleanliness of the facility, the quality of meals provided, and the accommodating nature of the staff, allowing for flexible visitation and even pet visits, which contribute to a positive environment for residents.
However, there are criticisms related to specific interactions with the office staff, particularly citing unprofessionalism and a lack of compassion during visitor check-in processes. Despite these isolated complaints, the sentiment remains overwhelmingly positive towards the nurturing and skilled care provided to residents. The community's inclusive approach, attention to cultural celebrations, and the maintained cleanliness and safety of its facilities are also aspects frequently celebrated by reviewers. There is a sense of relief and gratitude expressed by many who found this community to be a perfect fit for their loved ones after experiencing less satisfactory care elsewhere.
It's noteworthy that while there were minor negative remarks, they did not broadly concern the quality of care but were specific to individual incidents. The community is described as a place where residents receive top-notch care, are treated with respect and kindness, and where families are kept well informed and involved in the care process. The dedication of the staff across various departments, from nursing to rehabilitation, has made a significant difference in the lives of residents and their families, affirming this community's reputation as a caring and professional establishment.
