    Caring staff, pleasant activities, staffing

    I'm impressed by the nursing staff-kind, caring, and truly focused on residents' health. Families get frequent updates and the new administrator is on the ball and passionate. The building looks dated but is being updated; residents enjoy the porch, TV room, fresh air, good meals, and engaging activities like coloring and cognitive games. There's freedom with careful supervision, though they can be short-staffed and full-care attention is sometimes limited.

    Summary review

    Overall sentiment across the reviews is positive with important caveats. Multiple reviewers emphasize that nursing staff are caring, attentive, and genuinely concerned about residents' health and well-being. Residents are described as well taken care of, with staff often providing frequent updates to family members. The presence of a new administrator is highlighted as a positive development — described as “on the ball” and passionate — and reviewers note that visible efforts are underway to update an otherwise outdated facility.

    Care quality and staffing emerge as central themes. On the positive side, reviewers consistently report that core care needs are being met: full care services are available, meals are fed well, residents maintain freedom and privileges, and supervision is provided without unnecessary restriction. Staff demeanor is repeatedly mentioned as friendly and kind-mannered, which supports a compassionate care environment. However, several reviews also raise staffing concerns: phrases like “short staffed” and “not enough attention” indicate that while staff are good and caring, there may not always be sufficient personnel to provide frequent one-on-one attention. This tension—strong individual commitment from staff versus limited staffing levels—is a notable pattern.

    Facilities and environment receive mixed feedback. The physical plant is described as outdated in appearance, but reviewers also note that renovations or updates are in progress. Amenities such as a porch and TV room are specifically mentioned as positives, and references to a “fresh breeze” suggest that outdoor or well-ventilated spaces contribute to resident comfort. The ongoing updates and an engaged administrator point to a facility that is aware of past shortcomings and is actively making improvements.

    Activities and daily life are portrayed favorably. Reviewers cite engaging, cognitively stimulating activities like coloring, drawing, and other cognitive-focused programming. These offerings, combined with communal areas and preserved freedoms for residents, indicate an environment that supports both socialization and autonomy. Dining and feeding support are also noted positively, with reviewers specifically saying meals are fed well.

    In summary, the dominant impression is of a nursing and rehabilitation center with strong, compassionate staff and effective communication, led by an administrator who appears committed to improvements. The facility delivers full-spectrum care and meaningful activities, and residents are described as having maintained freedoms and comfortable communal spaces. The principal concerns are the outdated appearance of parts of the facility (though remediation is underway) and recurring short-staffing issues that can limit individualized attention. Prospective families should weigh the clear strengths in care quality, staff attitude, and management engagement against the potential for occasional staffing-related delays or reduced one-on-one time. Continued investment in staffing levels and completion of facility updates would address the main negatives noted by reviewers.
