Reviews

Residents and their families say:

This community has received positive feedback for its beautiful facilities, exceptional staff, and a wide range of amenities and activities, making it a highly recommended residence for seniors. The community offers excellent food, a variety of living spaces from one-bedroom apartments to more spacious suits, and a plethora of activities including a wellness program, musical performances, and daily bus services for residents. One reviewer highlighted the friendly and kind nature of both the staff and the residents, noting the community's welcoming atmosphere. The community's location is praised for its convenience, offering easy access to local amenities and creating opportunities for residents to maintain an active and independent lifestyle.
However, there were some concerns about the affordability of this community, with multiple reviews mentioning that the cost could be prohibitive for some potential residents. Moreover, the level of care available for those who might need more assistance in the future was a point of caution for a few reviewers, suggesting that the community is best suited for those who are still quite independent. The size of the rooms and the fact that some areas appeared less than fully vibrant, possibly due to small apartment windows that make some spaces feel cave-like, were minor points of criticism. Despite these concerns, the range of facilities such as a gym, library, dining venues, and the meticulous maintenance of the community received high praise, solidifying its appeal to many as a top choice for senior living.
