My name is Sylvie .From the moment I walked through the doors, I knew this was the right place for Mom. The administrator ( Andrea) , the director of nursing ( Laura)and both social workers (Casey and Ebonie). They did an outstanding job helping with my mother's admission and her transition .They worked with me thru the entire process .<br>The facility is spotless, bright, and kudos to the housekeeping and laundry department.<br><br>What truly sets this community apart is the level of care and compassion. The nurses and CNA treat residents like family—checking in often, sharing laughs, and encouraging participation in activities. Mom, who was once hesitant when she first came but now she is very happy .<br>The nursing team is one of the best : Nurse Yoni, Antal, Nadjanie, Alex Augustin, Violet ,Sarah and Deena always welcome me with a smile<br>Communication with families is excellent. I receive regular updates, and any concerns are addressed immediately with kindness and professionalism.
