Reviews

Residents and their families say:

The community has garnered a mix of feedback from residents and their families, with many expressing satisfaction with the amenities, care, and environment provided, while some concerns were also highlighted. Positive comments frequently mentioned the large and unique rooms equipped with showers, kitchenettes, and full-size fridges, particularly on the memory care side, which were appreciated for their uniqueness in comparison to other facilities. The staff's caring attitude and dedication were consistently praised, with families noting that the team truly loves the residents and goes above and beyond to create a homelike atmosphere. Several reviews lauded the community for its friendly and upbeat atmosphere, cleanliness, and the array of activities offered, such as bowling and trips to the ice cream shop, that keep residents engaged and happy.
However, some reviews raised concerns about the care and management within the community. Notably, issues such as staff turnover, inconsistent care levels in the memory care unit, and concerns about under staffing were mentioned by more than one reviewer. Another point of criticism was the change in ownership, raising worries about the continuity of care and cost implications. Although the community was commended for its size, enabling staff to get to know the families well, there were comments suggesting that communication did not always lead to action. Additionally, some reviewers felt the quality of food needed improvement, mentioning a lack of flavor in the dishes served. Despite these concerns, many reviewers would still recommend the community, highlighting the positive impact it has had on their loved ones and their overall satisfaction with the care and environment provided.
