  • Review Summary

    The following is an AI generated summary of the reviews of the community from across the web.

    Reviews of Golden Years Retirement Home present a mixed picture of the facility. Some residents and their families have found it to be a suitable and even enjoyable place to live, appreciating the personal level of care and the community activities like weekly happy hours and daily bingo. They highlight the friendly and caring staff, clean rooms, and the sense of family among residents.

Concerns about the facility's response during the Covid lockdown period and reports of neglect leading to severe consequences have been mentioned.

    While some see Golden Years as a good fit for their loved ones, citing its cleanliness, friendly environment, and convenient location, others describe it as a place of last resort with inadequate care and questionable business practices. The cost of living at Golden Years, given the quality of food, care, and the age of the facility, has been criticized, though some acknowledge it as the only affordable option available to them.

    In summary, experiences at Golden Years Retirement Home vary widely. Prospective residents and their families should carefully consider the available reviews and possibly seek firsthand experiences before making a decision.
