    Review

    Liberty Village is described by several reviewers as a place where kindness and attentiveness are core parts of the experience. The sentiment is upbeat about the people who operate and care for residents, with many remarks focusing on the quality of staff and the welcoming atmosphere. The general tone from these comments is that the atmosphere feels warm and the people working there are genuinely helpful and friendly.

    A recurring theme praises the changes brought by new management over the past year. Reviewers credit the current leadership with addressing a period of negativity and turning the environment into something much more positive and healthy for both staff and residents. Beyond just the mood, there is explicit appreciation for the efforts to improve the overall setting, suggesting that the staff morale and daily life at the facility have benefited from this leadership shift. Activities are highlighted as a strong point, described as outstanding and engaging, which adds to the sense that Liberty Village has a lively and supportive community.

    Personal experiences reinforce the positive narrative, even when the stay was brief. One reviewer notes that their mother was only there for a short time before passing, yet they still felt welcomed by everyone. The staff's responsiveness is emphasized, with quick attention when called and a clear supportive presence. The office staff is singled out for their excellence in answering questions, contributing to a sense of being well-informed and supported during a difficult time. This account underscores that the kindness of the people there left a strong impression, even in a moment of sorrow.

    In contrast to the positive recollections, there is a strongly negative perspective that urges readers not to choose Liberty Village if they truly care about their loved ones. The reviewer urges families to take their time and search for a facility that genuinely prioritizes care, suggesting that Liberty Village does not meet that standard. This view conveys a deep concern about the quality of care and the level of attention that a loved one would receive, creating a stark counterpoint to the more favorable accounts.

    The criticism of management is sharpened by a stark label: "Management should be renamed to ?saboteurs'." This striking description indicates a belief that leadership has actively undermined or failed the place, contributing to a sense of distrust or disappointment at the highest level. While other comments commend the staff and the improvements under new management, this particular note suggests that there are significant tensions or perceived missteps in leadership that overshadow the positives for some families.

    Taken together, the reviews paint a complex picture of Liberty Village. On one hand, multiple voices highlight kind, helpful staff, responsive caregivers, and enhanced morale and activities under recent leadership. On the other hand, serious concerns about overall care quality and the management's effectiveness surface in strongly worded admonitions and accusations about sabotage. The resulting impression is that Liberty Village may offer a welcoming and well-staffed environment in which residents and families can experience warmth and supportive service, but potential residents should listen closely to these conflicting views, conduct their own visits, and weigh whether the concerns about care and leadership align with their own expectations and needs.
