Reviews

Residents and their families say:

This community has received mixed reviews from visitors, touching on various aspects of care, facilities, and staff engagement. A notable positive aspect highlighted in several reviews is the quality of the nursing staff and the level of care provided, especially to those in critical conditions such as hospice care. Families of patients have expressed gratitude towards the nurses for their diligence in ensuring comfort and managing pain, emphasizing the sense of being at home due to the caring environment. The cleanliness of the facility and comfort of the rooms were also praised, alongside the effectiveness of the physical therapy programs offered, which have been described as integral to the recovery process for many patients.
However, there have been criticisms concerning aspects of the patient experience, including the quality of the food and the emotional engagement of some staff members with the patients. One reviewer highlighted a particularly disappointing incident involving a lack of interaction and warmth from a staff member towards a patient, underscoring the importance of compassion in patient care. Another point of concern raised was the nature of the patient population, with mentions of tragic cases including strokes and dementia, potentially indicating a challenging atmosphere for some visitors and patients. Despite these issues, the high marks for the nursing care and the cleanliness of the facilities suggest that while there are areas that could benefit from improvement, many fundamental aspects of care and service at this community are well-regarded.
