Residents and their families say:

This community has garnered varied reactions from its residents and their families. On the positive side, many appreciate the professional and prompt staffing, noting specific instances of exceptional care that have led to improvements in the well-being and happiness of their loved ones. The facility's cleanliness, attentive staff, rigorous physical therapy program, and overall caring environment receive high praise. A professional gerontologist and families of residents commend the skilled nursing and therapy staff, highlighting their capability in managing the care of very sick residents and the kindness of the therapy department. The provision of three meals a day, opportunity for rehab therapy that includes three sessions a day, and the successful handling of challenges under difficult conditions, including the COVID-19 pandemic, are also noted positively.

However, there are criticisms, particularly regarding the administrative aspects like billing and communication, which seem to detract from the overall experience. Issues such as missed meals, billing errors, and the need for multiple calls to establish communication are recurring complaints. The community appears to struggle with high staff turnover, leading to concerns about consistency in care. The food is sometimes described as repetitive and unidentifiable, with limited television options further impacting resident satisfaction. Despite the negatives, the presence of genuinely caring and effective staff and instances where family members felt assured of their loved ones' care suggests a level of service that meets the needs of many residents and their families, albeit with room for administrative improvement.
