Reviews

Residents and their families say:

This community has garnered much praise from its residents, their families, and staff members, highlighting the caring, compassionate atmosphere and dedicated workforce. Many commend the cleanliness of the environment, the delicious and nutritious meals provided, and the overall attentive and professional care residents receive. Particularly noteworthy are the positive comments regarding the way staff members treat residents with respect, dignity, and a personable approach, treating them as family and addressing their evolving needs with understanding and kindness. The community's setting is frequently described as beautiful and peaceful, contributing to a sense of well-being among residents. Activities and religious services are appreciated for enhancing the quality of life, fostering a sense of community and belonging.
However, despite the overwhelming positivity, there are concerns raised about the quality of care, particularly referencing an incident of a resident developing a bedsore during a rehab stay, pointing to insufficient care or attention. Issues with a high turnover of caregiving staff were mentioned, causing inconsistency in the care provided. Such criticisms, though fewer in comparison to the numerous commendations, suggest areas for improvement, particularly in maintaining staff continuity and ensuring all residents' needs are consistently met to the highest standard. Despite these points of critique, the community remains highly recommended by most reviewers for its compassionate environment and the quality of life it offers to residents.
