Residents and their families say:

This community has earned high praise for its compassionate and caring staff, along with a variety of amenities and activities that contribute to a positive living environment. Reviewers have highlighted the community's ability to safely accommodate residents with dementia, including those with a tendency to wander, in a manner that avoids unnecessary medication. The offerings such as art classes, bingo, movie nights, and even visits from entertainers like Elvis have enriched the lives of residents, creating a vibrant social atmosphere. The outdoor patio space, coupled with the facility's layout, which fosters a homey and inclusive environment, has been particularly appreciated. Family members have noted the careful attention to residents' safety, cleanliness of the facilities, and the provision of nutritious meals, alongside a variety of both on-site and external activities facilitated by transportation services.
However, some concerns were mentioned, including issues with staffing levels that impacted communication and the overall quality of care. Few reviews pointed out that the high staff turnover and understaffing led to a stretch in responsibilities for the existing staff, affecting the consistency and quality of care provided to the residents. Furthermore, the community's approach to monitoring via motion-activated cameras, intended for resident safety, was met with mixed feelings due to the perceived delay in response to alerts. Cost was another point of contention for some, with the community being described as pricey, although some acknowledged that this is a common challenge across similar facilities. Despite these concerns, the dedicated efforts of the staff, particularly the certified nursing assistants (CNAs), were frequently commended for their hard work and compassionate care, suggesting that while there are areas for improvement, the foundation for a caring and supportive community is firmly in place.
