Residents and their families say:

Feedback from families and residents highlights a deeply caring and accommodating environment at this community, particularly praising the staff's kindness and responsiveness. The memory care unit is often mentioned positively, with families feeling supported through challenging times, including during the pandemic when the facility successfully managed restrictions and later re-introduced visitations. The heartfelt appreciation for the staff's efforts during residents' final days underscores a compassionate approach to care. Additionally, the community's small size and consistent staffing are lauded for allowing a personalized and attentive care experience, ensuring residents are treated with dignity and their individual needs and preferences are respected.
Despite its many strengths, the community faces some criticism, particularly regarding the atmosphere, which a few reviewers felt had too much of a "nursing home feel," with people sitting around and limited interaction among residents. Another point of dissatisfaction was the desire for more engagement from caregivers, suggesting an opportunity for improvement in activities and entertainment to enrich residents' daily lives. However, these concerns are balanced by numerous positive observations about the facility's cleanliness, the quality of its food, and the variety of daily activities and amenities, including therapies, games, and live entertainment, that contribute to a vibrant community life. Residents' families appreciate the medical oversight and the variety of services such as physical therapy and 24-hour assistance, which offer peace of mind and attest to the community's commitment to well-being and quality of life.
