Residents and their families say:

This community has received a variety of feedback from residents and their families, highlighting both strengths and areas for improvement. Many reviewers have expressed high satisfaction with the staff's genuine care, the welcoming and friendly atmosphere, and the wide range of activities available. Residents appreciate the cozy and homely feel of the facility, despite its initial large and fancy impression. The community is also praised for its excellent dining options, with meals available from 7am to 7pm and a wide selection on the menu, including the flexibility to cater to individual preferences. The inclusion of pets, the facility's physical attractiveness, and a sense of security and belonging further contribute to the positive experiences shared by many.
However, concerns have been raised about staff turnover affecting the quality of care, especially in the memory care section. Some reviews mention that the level of attention and care decreased while fees increased, contributing to a sense of receiving less value for the cost. Additionally, there are calls for improvements in communication regarding services and resident needs, specifically around meal service times and transportation arrangements. A few reviewers also noted the need for more attentive medical care and clearer criteria for care levels to help residents and their families manage expectations and needs better. Despite these challenges, the proactive approach to engaging residents in activities and ensuring their comfort shines through as a strong point, suggesting that this community remains a place where many people feel happy and well-cared for.
