Reviews

Residents and their families say:

This community is often lauded for its cleanliness, welcoming atmosphere, and the warmth of its staff, making it a standout option for rehabilitation and long-term care. Many reviews highlighted the great care provided by the physical therapy (PT) team and certified nursing assistants (CNAs), with one reviewer specifically praising the PT staff for their efforts even before a significant medical diagnosis was made. The community's commitment to maintaining a clean and friendly environment, alongside a highly regarded staff, regularly contributes to positive experiences for both residents and their visitors. The food quality has also received compliments, suggesting an improvement that adds to the overall well-being of its residents.
However, not all feedback is uniformly positive. There are several concerns about the size and affordability of the accommodations, with one reviewer noting the rooms as too small and expensive, expressing disappointment in the lack of space and the high cost burden placed on families. Criticism also extends to staff shortages, particularly at night, and a decrease in the sense of community post-remodel, which has left some families feeling less connected to the facility. Additionally, there were experiences of poor treatment, especially notable in care for vulnerable residents, which raises concerns about oversight and empathy in some departments of the staff.
Despite these criticisms, the overarching sentiment reflects satisfaction with the quality of care, the cleanliness of the facility, and the professionalism of the staff. Recommendations from family members of residents attest to their confidence in the service and care provided, reinforcing the community's reputation as a valuable and, for many, a preferred choice for rehabilitation and long-term care in the area. The community seems to represent a beacon of support and care for its residents, though it does not come without its challenges and areas for improvement, particularly in room sizes and certain aspects of patient interactions.
