Residents and their families say:

This community has garnered high praise for its exceptional standards in senior care, with many reviewers noting the dedication and professionalism of its team.

However, some concerns were expressed regarding the facility's maintenance and operational efficiency, such as delayed responses to resident needs, issues with trash removal, maintenance delays with elevators, and the inconvenience of a new sign-in system for residents. There was also mention of a perceived decline in the community's standards possibly due to staffing issues, which have led to an increase in prices. Despite these concerns, positive reviews highlight the community's compassionate care, particularly in memory care and assisted living, the cleanliness of the facility, and the genuine, caring nature of the staff. The ability to provide a seamless transition through different care levels within the same community has been especially appreciated by family members.
