Residents and their families say:

This community received numerous positive remarks from residents and their families. Many praised the welcoming and homely atmosphere it provided, noting the facility's cleanliness and modern, bright spaces which made residents feel at home. The variety and quality of meals were frequently highlighted, with specific appreciation for the diversity of food options available, including healthy and well-balanced meals. Several reviewers were particularly impressed by the social aspects, such as the happy hours, exercise classes, and the vibrant community life that encouraged resident engagement. The presence of thoughtful amenities, like rooftop gardens and common patio areas with impressive views, added to the appeal of the community. The pet-friendly policy and the layout of the apartments, offering spacious and independent living options with added assistance as needed, also received positive feedback. Staff friendliness and personableness were noted, even though there were mentions of challenges with efficiency and coordination among new staff members.
Despite the positive feedback, there were several areas of concern. The responsiveness to calls for aid was a significant issue, with delays in staff assistance being reported. Another point of dissatisfaction came from the move-out process, described by one reviewer as challenging and marked by a lack of empathy from the management. There were also comments on the need for improvement in staff training and the efficiency of their coordination, particularly in a community that was still finding its footing. The inconsistency in the knowledgeability of tour guides was mentioned, reflecting a gap in conveying accurate information to potential residents and their families. Despite these areas for improvement, the community was generally recommended by reviewers for its atmosphere, amenities, and care.
