Review Summary

Many reviews highlight the exceptional care and dedication of the staff at the facility, noting their willingness to go above and beyond for residents. Families have expressed gratitude for the cleanliness of the facility, the variety of activities and facilities available, and the personalized care their loved ones receive. Positive interactions with staff members, including the Director of Nursing and front desk personnel, have been specifically mentioned, along with the facility's efforts to accommodate visits and dietary needs during the COVID-19 pandemic.
However, there are serious concerns raised in several reviews regarding the care of veterans, particularly incidents involving a veteran found in distressing conditions.

On the other hand, community engagement with local schools and the warm welcome extended to visitors and families paint a picture of a facility that is an integral part of the community. The facility is described as clean, inviting, and secure, with staff that are friendly and accommodating.
Despite the positive aspects, some reviews criticize the facility for issues related to staffing, including allegations of employees neglecting their duties and administration problems.

In summary, while many reviews praise the facility for its cleanliness, staff dedication, and community involvement, there are significant concerns regarding the care of some residents, particularly veterans, that need to be addressed to uphold the standard of care expected at such a facility.
