Residents and their families say:

This community has received a blend of positive and appreciative feedback concerning the care of residents, alongside some critical observations. Many reviewers have expressed satisfaction with the friendly and professional staff, highlighting their attention and dedication to the residents' welfare. The quality of food served at the facility has been praised for being good and healthy, contributing positively to the residents' experience. The cleanliness of the facility, including communal areas like the dining space and restrooms, has been noted as exemplary by numerous visitors and residents alike. Moreover, some activities, including bingo, are appreciated by the residents, providing them some level of engagement and entertainment.

However, there have been concerns regarding the training and conduct of some staff members, particularly in handling medication and interfacing with the residents. The issue of medication being administered without proper sanitary precautions has been pointed out more than once, indicating a potential area for institutional improvement. Concerns about the management's oversight and the need for better organization and training among the staff have been recurrent themes. Additionally, some reviewers expressed dissatisfaction with the limited range of activities available to residents, suggesting a need for a more diverse and engaging program. Despite these criticisms, the heartfelt recommendations from family members of residents reflect the community's potential to provide a caring and supportive environment for its residents, with emphasis on the importance of addressing the outlined issues to enhance service delivery.
