Reviews

Residents and their families say:

This community appears to be well-regarded by many reviewers for its caring staff, beautiful grounds, quality activities, and good food. The staff, including nursing and activities coordinators, receive commendations for providing exquisite care, being knowledgeable, responsive, and encouraging, with a notable emphasis on individualized attention and cleanliness. Residents seem to enjoy a range of amenities such as gardens, activity rooms, and various encouraging activities aimed at maintaining their physical and mental well-being. Families express gratitude for the involvement they are allowed and encouraged in their loved ones' care and activities, highlighting a strong community atmosphere.
Some criticism comes from the physical aspects of the facility, which is described by several reviewers as being quite old, with one noting a need for renovation and another dissatisfied with the older rooms not having been updated. The layout of the building received mixed reviews, being described as institutional and potentially confusing to navigate due to its size and structure. Concerns about the cost were also mentioned, with some reviewers finding it a bit high but generally reasonable considering the care provided. Shared rooms and bathrooms were not suitable for all, indicating that while the community offers many positive attributes, the physical configuration and pricing may not align with everyone's needs or expectations.
