Residents and their families say:

This community has garnered mixed feedback from visitors and family members of residents. Several positive remarks highlight the community's cleanliness, well-maintained premises, and the kind, caring, and attentive staff. Many appreciated the variety of living options available, from apartments with separate bedrooms and living areas to units designed for those with mobility or visual impairments. The range of activities offered, such as dancing, bingo, puzzles, day trips, and special events like live music and family parades, was also mentioned favorably, adding to the community’s vibrant atmosphere. The staff's dedication to providing care and attention, as well as their warm and welcoming nature, was consistently praised. Residents enjoy good food, a friendly environment, and feel well-cared for, with specific accolades for the memory care unit's staff-to-resident ratio and the quality of care provided across the board.
However, there were criticisms regarding organization and staff knowledge during tours, with one reviewer not impressed due to a lack of preparation for their visit. The meals and dining service received mixed reviews, noted as a hit or miss, and concerns were raised about a high staff turnover rate. Another point of dissatisfaction came from an unexpected bill from the community's pharmacy long after a resident had left, hinting at potential administrative or communication issues. Despite these criticisms, many see this community as a hidden gem in Portsmouth, offering a range of amenities, activities, and care options that cater well to residents, making it a place many would recommend or consider for their own future needs.
