Residents and their families say:

This community has received a mix of feedback from various reviewers, showcasing positive experiences intermingled with some concerns. Many reviewers have expressed satisfaction with the care their loved ones have received, often highlighting the friendly and attentive staff, clean and well-maintained facilities, and a wide range of activities including physical therapy and field trips that keep the residents engaged and offer a sense of community. In particular, the efforts of the director and other management staff in ensuring the smooth operation of the facility and the attention to residents' needs were praised, contributing to a positive living environment. The community has also been recognized for its food quality, with one reviewer specifically pointing out the realness of the meat and the overall proper preparation of meals.

However, there were some recurring concerns among the reviews that need to be addressed. Issues such as under-staffing, leadership challenges, and the need for better coordination in care services were mentioned. Additionally, some reviewers were not impressed with the physical aspects of the facility, describing it as dark and small, and the engagement level of its residents as lacking. Criticisms were also raised regarding the facility's policy on medication distribution and the absence of wheelchair-accessible toilet facilities, which can significantly affect the residents' quality of life and autonomy. Lastly, the dissatisfaction with food variety and the lack of low-sodium options for residents who might require such a diet were also points of concern. Despite these issues, many reviewers would still recommend the community, appreciating the overall care and environment provided to their loved ones.
