What this means for your family
While the facility offers excellent rehabilitation and dietary services, the recent trend in reviews suggests a decline in operational consistency and cleanliness. When touring, we strongly recommend asking management specifically how they are addressing current staffing shortages and what measures are in place to ensure timely responses to resident needs.

Key Review Excerpts
“I can't praise them enough bc the food here is the best food I've ever tasted in an institution (and I used to work in a nursing home in Brooklyn). It tops my home cooked food.”
“Excellent compassionate and kind people. Certainly short staffed with extended wait time. Overall a productive and pleasant stay.”
“Basic needs are not always met in a timely manner, communication between staff and departments often feels disorganized, and the overall cleanliness of the facility has been concerning.”
