Key Review Excerpts
“The staff is caring and are trained to understand how to redirect when behaviour is difficult. The activities program is stimulating and fun for the residents.”
“Consistently understaffed. This has impacts on services ranging from toileting to laundry to general cleanliness of the rooms. Further, they constantly inflate the amount charged, based on new services that they never perform.”
“One issue that concerns me is the high turnover rate among the nursing staff. It is frustrating to build a relationship with a nurse only to have them leave shortly after.”
