Reviews

Residents and their families say:

This community has received positive feedback from many who have experienced its services firsthand, praising the compassionate and patient care provided by the nursing staff. Relatives of residents have highlighted the smooth transitions facilitated by the administration, especially during challenging moves from other facilities. The dedication of the staff towards residents, treating them like family and being highly responsive to their needs, stands out in numerous reviews. Special acknowledgments were given to various staff members across different roles for their exceptional support and advocacy, showcasing a team that's not only skilled but also deeply committed to the well-being of residents. Aesthetics and maintenance of the facility received mixed reviews; while some appreciated the cleanliness and the newly renovated spaces, others pointed out its dated appearance and a less professional ambiance as minor drawbacks. Yet, despite these points, the care level and the homely environment were consistently lauded.
However, two concerns were echoed in the feedback: understaffing and the facility's casual atmosphere that sometimes bordered on unprofessionalism, such as loud laughter and gossip among staff. While these aspects were noted, the genuine, down-to-earth nature of the staff and their attentiveness to residents, even in challenging moments, significantly outweighed the negative. The activities available and the community's effort to engage residents in meaningful ways were also appreciated, contributing to a lively and engaging environment for those staying there. Despite some remarks on the facility showing signs of age and concerns around the diversity of the resident population potentially affecting comfort levels for some, the overarching sentiment was one of gratitude for the high standard of care and support provided.
