Reviews

Residents and their families say:

This community has received a mix of feedback from residents and their families, highlighting a range of experiences. Many express satisfaction with the friendly and caring staff, clean facilities, and array of activities available for residents. The spacious, light, and comfortable apartments appeal to those looking for a home-like environment, and the community's efforts to accommodate changing needs and ensure resident security are frequently praised. The presence of on-site services such as physical therapy, lab work, and the option for assisted living alongside independent living options are considered significant advantages.
However, there are concerns about aspects of the community's dining service, including understaffing leading to long wait times for meals. Some reviewers have pointed out that the building's age and the need for updates, as well as the limited offerings for vegetarian meals, detract from the overall experience. Maintenance of the outdoor areas and the quality of food received mixed reviews, indicating room for improvement in these areas. Despite these challenges, the sense of community, engaging activities, and the caring attitude of the staff contribute to a positive living environment for many residents. The community's location, affordability, and the variety of amenities offered, such as a pool and on-site nursing staff, add to its appeal for potential residents and their families.
