Review

In our experience, the senior care facility we chose for our mother has proven to be top-rated. Our mother, who is 92 years old, has been a resident there for over a year and continues to thrive despite her age. We have been impressed with the level of care provided by the staff, who are attentive to her every need. They even go above and beyond by contacting us whenever there is any reason for concern. It's comforting to know that they are always on top of things.

One thing that truly stands out about this facility is the dedication and compassion of the care staff. They genuinely care about the well-being of their residents and it shows in their daily interactions. In fact, it's not uncommon for one of them to sleep in a lounger in our mother's room at night if they feel she needs closer attention. This level of personal care gives us peace of mind knowing that she is well taken care of.

We make it a point to visit our mother at various times throughout the day, depending on our schedules. Each time we stop by, we are greeted with cheerful and helpful staff members who are always willing to assist us or answer any questions we may have. They take pride in ensuring that our mother's hygiene needs are met in a professional manner, always keeping her dressed and groomed.

The facility also goes above and beyond to create a sense of community for its residents. They celebrate birthdays and any other occasion or holiday that comes along, making sure no special moment goes unnoticed or unacknowledged. These small gestures help foster a warm atmosphere where residents can feel valued and cared for.

While the facility itself deserves high praise, it's important to note that not all aspects may be perfect for every resident. One reviewer mentioned that their own mother had lost interest in participating in activities offered at the facility. However, this wasn't due to any fault of the staff or facility; rather, it was simply a result of their mother's personal preferences and cognitive decline. Despite this, their mother still finds enjoyment in visiting with people and learning about their lives, creating connections within the "family" of residents and staff.

Overall, our experience with this senior care facility has been overwhelmingly positive. The attentive and compassionate nature of the staff, coupled with their commitment to meeting our mother's needs, has made a significant impact on her quality of life. We are grateful for the level of care provided and would confidently rate it a positive 10 out of 10.
