Review Summary
The following is an AI generated summary of the reviews of the community from across the web.
Reviews for the senior living facility present a mixed picture, highlighting both commendable aspects and areas needing improvement. Positive feedback praises the staff's kindness, professionalism, and dedication to resident care. Specific employees in various departments, including admissions and social services, are lauded for their exceptional support and advocacy for residents. The facility itself is described as beautiful, with a clean environment and a team that is responsive to inquiries and capable of providing long-term care.
However, several reviews express significant concerns about aspects of care and management. Issues cited include poor nursing care, lost items, lack of communication with families, and inadequate management of medication, leading to serious health risks. Some residents reported experiencing delays in receiving assistance, infrequent showers, and slow response to call lights. Concerns about hygiene, such as unattended wet beds and insufficient changing of linens, were also mentioned. Additionally, there were instances of miscommunication and perceived negligence, including a distressing situation where a family was unable to visit a loved one in hospice care due to miscommunication.
While some staff members are recognized for going above and beyond their duties, there are reports of a lack of care and attention to residents' needs, raising questions about staffing levels and training. The facility's exterior appearance contrasts with the experiences of some residents and families, suggesting a need for internal improvements to match the outward aesthetics.
Overall, the reviews indicate a facility with dedicated individuals providing excellent care in some areas, but also reveal significant challenges that need to be addressed to ensure the well-being and satisfaction of all residents.
