Reviews

Residents and their families say:

This community has garnered mixed responses from its visitors and residents, with many praising the care and support they received during their time of need, emphasizing the professionalism, compassion, and personal connection the staff displayed. Positive reviews frequently highlighted the cleanliness of the facility, the broad range of services offered, and a few staff members who went above and beyond in their efforts to assist patients, making them feel cared for and supported. Some individuals found the community to be a place of recovery and healing, attributing their improved condition to the dedication of the staff and the environment that encouraged growth and healing.
However, not all feedback was positive. Concerns were raised about certain aspects of care and facility management, including the uncomfortable conditions of the intake area and a general lack of professionalism among some staff members. One reviewer noted their child's admission process was unsettling, marked by a confusing interaction with the intake personnel and a lack of adherence to a structured schedule. Another pointed out the quick escalation to send bills to collections without prior communication as a downside. These critiques, however, were counterbalanced by individual accounts of personal improvement and satisfaction with the overall services received, suggesting that experiences could vary widely depending on various factors, including the staff members encountered and the specific services utilized.
