Review Summary
The following is an AI generated summary of the reviews of the community from across the web.
Reviews for the senior living facility present a mixed picture, highlighting both commendable care and areas needing improvement. Some family members praise the facility for its professional and compassionate care, particularly in the memory care unit, where residents are engaged in activities and treated with respect and dignity. Positive experiences also include effective rehabilitation services, with staff being described as plentiful, knowledgeable, and great with bedside care.
However, other reviews express significant concerns. Issues such as delayed response times to calls for assistance, inadequate staffing, and subpar food quality have been mentioned. One review detailed a distressing experience where a resident's dignity was not upheld, leading the family to seek alternative facilities. Another serious concern raised was about the facility's handling of a Legionnaires' disease outbreak and a rotavirus, questioning the timeliness and transparency of communication with patients and families.
While some reviews commend the facility for excellent care, professional staff, and a clean environment, others criticize the administration's focus on financial gains over patient safety, and a perceived decline in the level of patient care. One review specifically calls out the workplace culture, suggesting issues with employee treatment and practices.
Overall, while there are instances of high-quality care and dedicated staff making a positive impact on residents and their families, the facility also faces challenges with staffing, communication, and maintaining consistent standards of care and treatment.
