Reviews

Residents and their families say:

This community has seen significant positive changes and improvements, notably praised for its care quality, particularly after the introduction of a new Director of Nursing. Many reviews emphasized the compassionate and dedicated staff across various departments, including nursing, rehabilitation, dietary, housekeeping, and management. Family members have expressed their appreciation for the excellent communication with staff, effective physical rehabilitation, and the facility's handling of the COVID-19 pandemic through innovative communication options and safe visitation arrangements. The community's cleanliness, variety of enjoyable activities, and the overall welcoming and supportive atmosphere among staff and residents were also highlighted. Residents and volunteers alike find the environment cheerful and satisfying, with staff members always ready to assist and ensuring residents look their best even amidst challenges such as being short-staffed.
However, not all feedback was positive. Concerns were raised regarding the pace of rehabilitation for some residents and instances of needing administrative intervention to address care issues. A specific mention was made about dissatisfaction from a resident regarding the preference for a different facility and the initial lack of care that reportedly improved only after concerns were addressed by the administration. Despite these concerns, the majority of the feedback from both family members and residents themselves points to a caring, responsive, and highly commended facility that is considered by many as a top choice for loved ones requiring convalescent and rehabilitative care.
