Residents and their families say:

This community has received praise for its high-quality care, professional and compassionate staff, and well-maintained facilities. Reviewers consistently highlighted the cleanliness of the community, the friendliness of the staff, and the effectiveness of the rehabilitation services offered. Many shared personal stories of significant improvement in the health and abilities of their loved ones after stays at the facility, attributing these successes to the dedicated efforts of the staff across various departments. From the welcoming reception at the front desk to the comprehensive care plans executed by the healthcare and rehabilitation teams, the community has made a favorable impression on its visitors and residents alike. The activities and facilities, including an ice cream parlor and well-appointed courtyards, were frequently mentioned as highlights that enhance the quality of life for residents. The community's ability to create a comfortable and supportive environment for recovery and daily living was underscored by many reviewers.
However, there were a few areas of concern noted by some reviewers. One recurring issue was the community's handling of communication, particularly in relation to the social services department which was mentioned in more than one account. Additionally, there was mention of the community being a little understaffed during the night shift, although it was also noted that the staff managed to make it work despite this. Despite these concerns, the positive aspects such as the facility's beauty, the staff's dedication, and the overall high level of care and support provided seemed to far outweigh the negatives for most reviewers, leading to numerous recommendations of the community to others in need of care and rehabilitation services.
