I have been very impressed with the level of care, attention, and compassion that my loved one has received since moving to Dimond Care. She has been at Dimond Care for a year, and I rest easy knowing that she is safe and in good hands. The facility is simple, yet comfortable, and the staff are kind and accommodating.

Overall, reviews suggest a caring community with exceptional staff members, but experiences vary by department, leadership period, staffing levels, and residents’ care needs. Prospective families should tour, ask questions, and verify communication and care practices.
