Residents and their families say:

This community stands out for its exceptional staff and their genuine care for residents, receiving high praise for the dedicated and personalized attention they give. Reviewers consistently highlight the staff's efforts to treat residents like family, celebrating birthdays, and providing one-on-one care that caters to each individual's needs. The nursing team, bolstered by recent hires, is commended for their superior care and commitment to residents' well-being. The sense of teamwork and shared core values among staff ensures that residents receive the highest level of care, contributing to a positive environment for both long-term and hospice care patients. The efforts to renovate the facility and improve the physical environment have been acknowledged and appreciated by visitors and relatives of residents.
However, despite the staff's commendations, concerns have been raised about the facility's physical condition. More than one reviewer pointed out that the building and its furnishings appear outdated and are in need of renovation. Issues such as unpleasant smells and a less than inviting appearance have been mentioned, highlighting a contrast between the quality of care provided and the physical state of the facility. These critiques suggest that while the human element of the community is thriving, there is a significant need for updates to the facility itself to match the level of care being provided.
In summary, this community is celebrated for its compassionate and dedicated staff, who are frequently described as going above and beyond for residents. The care team’s approach, treating residents as family, significantly enhances the living experience for those in the community. Renovation efforts are recognized as a step towards improving the overall setting, although there is a consensus that further improvements are necessary to elevate the facility’s environment. Concerns about the facility’s dated appearance and need for refurbishment represent areas for development that, if addressed, could make the community even more appealing.
