Residents and their families say:

This community has accumulated a variety of feedback from visitors and family members of residents, predominantly showcasing its strengths in professional staff behavior, cleanliness, and resident care. Several reviews praise the friendly and helpful nature of the staff, the thorough and effective rehabilitation services, and the engaging activities provided to the residents. The presence of a clean environment, devoid of the typical nursing home smell, along with the inclusion of amenities like free barber services, have been especially appreciated. The food served has received commendations for both quality and variety, suggesting a positive dining experience for the residents.

However, some concerns have been mentioned, including a few complaints about the response time to assistance requests and communication issues among the staff. The staffing levels have been brought up as a challenge by some reviewers, hinting at occasional understaffing which seems to affect the promptness of service and possibly the attention each resident receives. A couple of negative experiences related to staff responses to medical issues and the administration of medication have been noted, alongside comments about the need for a broader range of activities and improvements in food variety and quality. Despite these issues, many expressed satisfaction with the care provided and would recommend this community to others, underlining its attractiveness as a safe and caring environment for loved ones.
