Review Summary
The following is an AI generated summary of the reviews of the community from across the web.
Visiting hours have been extended to accommodate after-work visits, which has been positively received. However, there are concerns regarding the care provided, particularly with one resident reporting significant weight loss due to delays in receiving assistance with meals. This raises serious concerns about neglect.
Feedback on the staff is mixed, with many reviews praising the kindness and politeness of nurses and assistants. The activities director, Linda, is highlighted for her fun and engaging approach with residents. However, there are also reports of mismanagement, including lost personal items and medication errors. One review specifically criticizes the facility for not adhering to COVID-19 protocols, resulting in a resident's rapid weight loss and inadequate care.
Despite these issues, some reviews describe the facility as a caring and compassionate environment, where staff go out of their way to ensure residents are comfortable and well-cared for. This includes adapting meals to residents' preferences and providing emotional support. The facility is also commended for its cleanliness and friendly atmosphere.
On the employment side, the facility is described as a great place to work, with a family-like atmosphere among staff. However, there are mentions of being short-staffed, which could contribute to some of the care issues reported.
Overall, while there are heartfelt endorsements of the facility's staff and the care provided, there are significant concerns about meal assistance, adherence to health protocols, and management of residents' personal items that need to be addressed.
