Review Summary
The following is an AI generated summary of the reviews of the community from across the web.
Reviews of the senior living facility present a mixed picture, with some expressing severe dissatisfaction while others praise the care and environment. A few reviews highlight concerns about safety and transparency, particularly regarding a reported COVID-19 outbreak and allegations of neglect and abuse. One reviewer expressed frustration with unhelpful and impolite staff during a visit for an interview, describing the experience as a waste of time.
Conversely, several reviews commend the facility for its cleanliness, friendly and professional staff, and high-quality care. The therapy services receive particular praise, with multiple reviewers noting significant improvements in their or their loved ones' conditions following therapy. The staff's attentiveness, helpfulness, and personal touch are frequently mentioned, with one long-term resident describing the facility as treating them "very well like family."
However, some negative feedback includes complaints about the staff being overworked, poor food quality, broken equipment, and a general lack of care. Despite these criticisms, positive reviews highlight the facility's efforts to engage residents with activities, including karaoke, and the personal stories of recovery and gratitude towards the therapists and staff.
In summary, while there are serious concerns raised by some, others have had positive experiences, appreciating the facility's cleanliness, the quality of care, and the dedication of the staff.
