Residents and their families say:

This community has garnered a predominantly positive reception from residents and their families, notably praised for its cleanliness, the friendliness and professionalism of its staff, and a broad selection of activities that cater to varied interests including ice cream socials, holiday-themed events, and more. The inclusivity and warmth of the community are frequently highlighted, along with the appreciation for the diverse amenities that are easily accessible, enhancing the living experience for residents and visitors alike. The community’s approach to care, particularly in its memory care unit, has been commended for being attentive and caring. Furthermore, the availability of convenient services like transportation within a 10-mile radius and companion care packages has significantly contributed to residents' comfort and satisfaction. The array of dining options and commitment to meeting the residents' social and recreational needs through an extensive activities program has also received much appreciation.
However, some areas for improvement include feedback on the food quality and selection, with a few residents finding the meals less satisfactory. Concerns were also raised about the condition and maintenance of the facilities, with one review pointing out issues such as falling apart kitchen cabinets causing injuries and unsatisfactory responses to maintenance requests. Another noted challenge was the transition in management leading to perceived cutbacks in services and quality. While these criticisms were pointed out, they did not overshadow the overall positive feedback about the compassionate care, welcoming atmosphere, and the community’s ability to make residents feel at home and well-cared for, thereby reinforcing recommendations from families for others searching for a comfortable and engaging living environment for their loved ones.
