Key Review Excerpts

The recreation team is great! The programs are top notch and the variety means there's something for everyone!

Family member · 2023★★★★★

I personally witnessed the call button not being answered for at least 20 minutes on 3 occasions, one of which was over 45 minutes long, and ended solely because I went to fetch the nurse myself.

Rehab patient's family · 2019☆☆☆☆

Very clean and modernized. Friendly and warm feeling. Upon visiting, it really shows how much the staff cares and loves the residents.
