What Families Think

Reviewers frequently praise the on-site caregivers, describing a clean, well-run community where residents are engaged and staff go out of their way to help families through difficult transitions.

My Dad was a resident of Tarina of Cypresswood (formerly Novellus) for 21+ months. He took his final breath there. Our family personally witnessed Excellence in action. We popped in, without notice. He was always clean, fed, involved in an activity, or engaging in conversation. He liked the staff very much. He adopted many of staff as relatives. The facility is clean and the grounds are well-maintained. Meals are tasty and appropriate per the needs of each resident. The staff is pleasant. responsive, and communicates the status of the patient if/when there are notable events. Choosing Tarina of Cypresswood was the best decision we made for our Dad’s final years. I highly recommend this facility.

Tarina Cypresswood has been my 75 year old special needs sister for the past 6 months. This facility has the expertise and capabilities to make her life so much more fulfilling and the staff knows their clients with concern and understanding of their needs. I could not be more pleased with The leadership team and staff who have made my sister happy on every level. The recent Easter Brunch was a fantastic event.

Elevator is not working, and has not been for weeks. This means that residents and visitors who use mobility devises, and may not be able to use stairs are just out of luck I guess! So sad, it’s a nice facility, however this is not right considering the type of care they provide. Please fix soon.

This community has attentive, professionals who care about residents and resident outcome. They have dedicated caregivers that have been in this community for a long time. Tami the activity director, Alex the med aid lead and Yesenia the Resident Care Director are invariably what makes this community stand out. These ladies are truly the backbone of this community and keep residents engaged in fun daily activities, safe with their medications, and overall open communication with family members regarding needs and status of their loved ones. Yesenia is committed to high standards of care and this trickles down to the rest of staff. She knows each resident individually, and those that are able to often stop by her office just to chat.<br>The draw back of this community is one that affects most assissted living and skill nurse communities, they need more staff.
