    Neat facility helpful staff mixed

    I found the neat brick building, well-kept grounds, adequate parking and a very organized, professional team - the social worker was especially helpful and hospice care seemed outstanding. However I couldn't get in due to COVID restrictions and experienced a rude aide and moments of lacking compassion, so I can't fully recommend it.

    Summary review

    Overall sentiment across the provided reviews is mostly positive but with some notable negative experiences. Multiple reviewers emphasize strong organization and professionalism among staff, describing the team as well organized and professional. Several comments single out individual employees positively — an example is a helpful social worker — and at least one review explicitly praises the staff and the care as "amazing." Hospice services receive particularly strong praise, with one reviewer calling hospice care "outstanding." These positive notes suggest the facility performs well in areas of clinical/hospice care coordination and general operations.

    Staffing and care quality emerge as central themes with mixed signals. On the positive side, the staff are repeatedly described as organized and caring, and some reviewers felt the clinical and day-to-day care was excellent. The social worker was specifically mentioned as helpful, which can indicate good case coordination and family communication in at least some cases. However, there are also explicit complaints about interpersonal care: one reviewer reported a rude aide and another described a lack of attention and compassion. These negative comments point to inconsistency in staff interactions — while many experiences are positive, isolated incidents of poor bedside manner or inattentiveness have occurred. This pattern suggests generally solid clinical capability paired with occasional lapses in bedside compassion or staff behavior.

    Facility and access issues are another clear theme. The property itself is described positively: reviewers noted a well-kept exterior, a neat brick building, and adequate parking. These details indicate the facility presents well physically and likely has sufficient on-site parking for visitors. A significant access-related concern is the COVID-19 visitation and entry restrictions referenced by a reviewer who "can't get in due to Covid restrictions." That comment highlights how pandemic-era policies (or other infection-control practices) are affecting some families' ability to visit or evaluate the facility in person, and how those policies can materially influence satisfaction and perceptions.

    Management and organization receive praise, which aligns with the comments about an organized and professional team. The repeated use of words like "organized" and "professional" suggests management systems and processes are in place and visible to families. Conversely, the presence of at least one complaint about a rude aide and general statements about lack of compassion suggest opportunities for management to focus on staff training, supervision, and consistency in person-centered care. Addressing such isolated negative interactions would help align individual staff behavior with the otherwise positive impressions of organization and care.

    Notably absent from these reviews are details about dining, activities/recreation, therapy programs (beyond hospice), or clinical outcomes such as rehospitalization rates. There is also limited information about administrative responsiveness beyond the positive mention of the social worker. This lack of detail means prospective residents and families should seek further information or tours (when possible) about daily life, meal quality, activity programming, therapy services, and staffing ratios.

    In summary, the reviews paint a picture of a facility with a well-maintained exterior and professional, organized staff, strong hospice services, and several accounts of excellent care. However, there are isolated but meaningful reports of poor interpersonal interactions and limited access due to COVID restrictions that have negatively impacted some reviewers' experiences. The overall pattern is more positive than negative, but the inconsistency in compassionate bedside care and visitation limitations are the primary concerns that prospective residents and families should investigate further when considering this facility.
