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.

Memory care family member · 2019★★★★★

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.

Memory care family member · 2024★★☆☆☆

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.

Long-term resident's family · 2024★★★☆☆
