    Review Summary

    The following is an AI generated summary of the reviews of the community from across the web.

    The reviews for the facility present a mixed but generally positive picture. Several reviewers commend the staff for their hard work, care, and compassion, highlighting the efforts of both the nursing team and the administration in improving the quality of care.

    Many reviewers appreciate the welcoming and warm environment, exceptional customer service, and the variety of activities and events provided for residents. The food quality also receives positive mentions, with some noting it seems homemade.

Some reviewers mention experiencing poor communication with the facility, difficulty in getting information about care plans or discharge dates, and a high turnover rate among the administration.

The facility is recommended by many for its great care, clean and friendly atmosphere, and the professionalism of its staff.
