Residents and their families say:

This community has garnered strong recommendations for its excellent care, with particular praise often directed towards the staff's professionalism and attentiveness. Families and residents alike have expressed great satisfaction with the level of security, the quality of food, and the comprehensive attention to well-being, especially during the challenging times of the COVID-19 outbreak. The care for residents transitioning to memory care has been noted as very giving, though there was a mention of extra costs for hiring overnight caregivers which was an added expense for one family. The community's commitment to making residents feel at home is further evidenced by its cleanliness, spacious living units, and a wide array of activities that cater to various interests, including clubs that indicate a rare level of resident engagement.
Despite the overwhelmingly positive remarks, there were minor points of improvement suggested by some reviewers. For instance, the need for more meal choices and allowing residents to have more control over their daily routines, like sleeping in, were mentioned as areas that could enhance the dignity of the residents further. Additionally, there was an isolated incident mentioned where one resident had not received breakfast or gotten dressed by a certain time, which was swiftly addressed by the community's director with concern. However, these points did not detract significantly from the overall positive experience reported by most. The facility's approach to accommodating family visits, easy communication with the administration, and specialized care, particularly for memory care residents, have been aspects highly appreciated by many families, underlining the community's reputation as a nurturing and secure environment for its residents.
