This community has garnered positive feedback for its management, staff, and availability of amenities. Residents and visitors alike commend the wide range of activities offered, such as exercise classes, church services, crafts, bingo, and many other engaging events. The presence of a helpful bus service and good quality food also received mentions, enhancing the living experience for many. Residents appreciate being able to live with their pets and enjoy the personal touches added to their living spaces, including patios and access to green areas. The community’s cleanliness, welcoming atmosphere, and attentive service, including three meals a day and various scheduled activities, have made significant impressions on new members and their families.
However, some concerns have been raised, notably regarding a recent increase in staff turnover coinciding with a new director's tenure, alongside a noticeable rent hike, which has led to the departure of some residents. Although there were mentions of the staff being young and possibly less informed, they are still recognized for their dedication to resident care and medication management. A critique was also directed at the system for managing higher levels of care, where the current approach may allow too much room for residents to refuse needed assistance. Despite these concerns, many families have expressed satisfaction with the choice of this community for their loved ones, highlighting the professional and cooperative nature of the staff, the appealing design and maintenance of the facility, and the overall positive impact on their loved ones' quality of life.
