Reviews

Residents and their families say:

This community has been praised for its welcoming atmosphere, both staff and fellow residents have been noted for their friendliness. Many reviewers highlighted the abundant activities, ranging from field trips to movie nights, and a variety of amenities such as beautifully maintained gardens and a well-equipped library. The community's effort to create an engaging and active environment was a highlight. Dining options have also received commendations for flexibility and quality, with anytime dining options and fresh garden ingredients cited as positive aspects. The staff's responsiveness, professionalism, and compassion, especially regarding individual care and attention towards residents with specific needs such as Alzheimer's, have been appreciated by many.
However, concerns were raised about several issues including the occasional short staffing mentioned by some residents, which seemed to affect the temperature and timeliness of meals. Furthermore, there were observations regarding management quality and the consistency in applying rules, and a few noted a decline in services such as housekeeping. Some families experienced frustrations related to communication and perceived a focus on profit over resident care under new management, which contrasted with their initial impressions. Additionally, certain reviews pointed out the high cost and the caveats linked with the pricing, mentioning hidden or unexpected charges. Despite these criticisms, many families would still choose or recommend this community, drawn by the overall positive living experience, security, and the sense of community fostered among residents.
