Reviews reveal a significant split between frontline staff, who are consistently praised for kindness and support, and management oversight, which appears inadequate. One detailed account documents serious neglect including pressure sore development and excessive medication. Most recent positive reviews praise staff dedication, but the severity of care quality concerns raised in the 1-star review warrant attention.

My grandmother ended up in this facility and was badly neglected by staff. When I was doing my practicum at the Kiwanis pavilion through Camosun College, I went to visit her and she was highly medicated and had a large bone-deep bedsore in her tailbone, bedridden in a dimly lit room for long periods...

The aids and nurses at Kiwanis are absolutely fabulous! As for the higher up bosses, not so much.

I have nothing but the utmost respect and admiration for everyone that works in this facility. They’re incredibly kind and are so lovingly supportive of our loved ones. It’s guaranteed they can never be paid what they’re worth.
