Reviews

Residents and their families say:

This community has garnered high praise from both residents and their families for its exceptional care, welcoming atmosphere, and well-maintained facilities. Positive remarks highlight the dedicated and caring nature of the staff, the delicious and balanced meals prepared under the guidance of dietitians, and the cleanliness and beauty of the environment. Many have expressed appreciation for the personalized attention to patients, including daily visits from a chef to discuss meal preferences and the provision of comprehensive therapy services seven days a week. The large private rooms equipped with personal bathrooms and showers further contribute to the comfort and satisfaction of the residents. The exceptional care provided has made a significant positive impact on the rehabilitation and overall experience of the patients, with special commendations for the readily available and helpful administrative staff.
However, amidst the widespread commendation, there are mentions of areas needing improvement, particularly in communication. A review pointed out issues such as misplaced documents, inconsistent messaging about policies, and challenges in coordinating care post-discharge, highlighting the need for better internal and patient-family communication. Despite the isolated nature of these negative comments, they suggest an opportunity for the community to enhance its service further.
In summary, while overwhelmingly praised for its high-quality care, beautiful facility, and attentive staff, this community would do well to take note of the few critiques regarding communication. Addressing these concerns could elevate the patient and family experience to match the high standards of care and accommodation already celebrated by many of its residents and their families.
