Reviews

Residents and their families say:

This community has received numerous commendations for its exceptional facilities and the quality of care provided by its staff. Reviewers have highlighted the community's departure from the institutional feel typical of many facilities, praising its home-like environment, which includes amenities like an ice cream parlor and spacious visiting areas. The compassionate, knowledgeable staff is noted for their dedication to resident care, making video calls possible for out-of-town family members, and providing personalized attention during rehabilitation processes. Many appreciate the faith-based approach of the community, feeling it positively influences the treatment of residents, visitors, and staff alike. The high level of cleanliness and patient care was frequently mentioned, along with the excellent food served at the facility.
However, one reviewer expressed disappointment with communication, noting a lack of daily updates on their loved one's condition and a general sense of confusion among the staff about patient progress. Despite this critique, the positive aspects such as effective rehab services, beautiful common areas, and the overall pleasant atmosphere of the community were consistently lauded. The tailored rehab programs, particularly in cases like knee replacements, were met with approval from both residents and their outpatient rehab providers, underlining the professional and effective care provided. With its residential feel, commitment to respect and dignity, and attentive care, this community is often recommended by those who have experienced its services.
