Residents and their families say:

This community has garnered praise for its great staff, amazing atmosphere, and the care it provides to its residents. Many reviewers have noted the friendly and helpful nature of the staff, the beautiful and well-maintained facilities, and the abundance of amenities available. Residents and their families have expressed gratitude for the high level of care and attention received, mentioning that it has made them feel safe and well-cared for. The environment is described as sunny and bright, with lots of sunlight everywhere making it a cheerful place to live. The community's efforts to engage residents in daily activities, including field trips and shopping, have been appreciated, as well as the transparency in costs and availability of consultations with nurses.
However, there are some concerns raised by multiple reviewers that need consideration. Communication and follow-through issues among the internal staff have been mentioned, along with difficulties some families experienced in getting necessary forms filled out for veteran's benefits. There is also mention of the community possibly being understaffed, which has led to challenges in ensuring consistent care across different shifts. A few have noted that while the food generally receives good marks, there are inconsistencies depending on who is cooking. Additionally, some reviewers have pointed out that the cleanliness and upkeep of personal spaces could be improved, and there have been isolated complaints about the attitude of a morning receptionist. Despite these concerns, many families would still recommend this community, valuing the overall positive experience and the care their loved ones receive.
