Residents and their families say:

This community is highly regarded for its clean, well-maintained facilities, and lovely grounds, creating a welcoming and secure environment for its residents. Many have spoken highly of the friendly, caring, and helpful staff, which contributes to a comfortable living experience. The residents enjoy a variety of nutritious and freshly prepared meals, and the fact that dining times are flexible and the dining area accommodates social interactions is particularly appreciated. Activities, though not abundant, are enjoyable and stimulating, including aquatic exercise, art and exercise classes, scenic drives, and on-site and off-site events that promote social interaction and community engagement.
While many reviews praised the community for its friendly atmosphere, clean environment, and professional staff, there were some concerns noted. The level of cleanliness in some areas, such as the hallways and a specific room, was called into question, alongside the efficiency of the meal service due to longer wait times. Mention was made of the community's transportation services, relying significantly on city transportation, and occasional staffing gaps during holidays, which caused some inconvenience. Additionally, concerns about the proportion of the price difference between living spaces and the need for more employee presence due to the number of residents were highlighted. Despite these few drawbacks, many families and residents have found great value in the services, care, and lifestyle provided by this community, strongly recommending it to others looking for a supportive and engaging living environment.
