Reviews

Residents and their families say:

The positive sentiment toward this community suggests a deeply nurturing and welcoming environment that significantly impacts residents and their families. Many reviewers highlighted the excellent care and attention provided by staff, with one expressing gratitude for the kind and professional manner observed from the first phone call through to their loved one's move-in day. Another reviewer noted the active engagement and thriving social atmosphere their relative enjoyed, including participating in exercise classes and feeling integrated into the community quickly, which speaks to the inclusive and supportive environment fostered by the staff. Families also appreciated the well-kept and clean facilities, along with the beautiful outdoor spaces that residents can enjoy. The meals received praise from several reviewers, indicating a high standard of dining service. Transitioning into this community appears to be made smoother by the considerate and accommodating staff who ensure new residents feel at home, with one reviewer mentioning significant improvements in their mother’s health and social engagement since joining the community.
However, there were some concerns and negative experiences noted. One prominent issue was related to the care for residents with dementia, with a reviewer expressing disappointment in the level of care and flexibility provided for their family member. They felt the staff was not well-equipped to accommodate the unique needs of individuals with more advanced care requirements, leading them to seek alternative arrangements. Another minor issue included dissatisfaction with the independent living quarters, which one reviewer found outdated and not to their liking in terms of size and cost. Additionally, a mix-up regarding care level necessitated by one resident was mentioned, indicating a possible area for improvement in communication and care planning. Despite these concerns, the overwhelming number of positive reviews suggest that these experiences may be outliers in an otherwise commendable service and community atmosphere.
