Residents and their families say:

This community boasts a highly praised SPARK Program which incorporates a holistic approach to care through a range of activities emphasizing mind, body, and social well-being. Residents and their visitors have expressed great satisfaction with the personalized attention guaranteed by the smaller facility size. The community offers distinct wings to cater to varying levels of care needs and ensures a comforting and stimulating environment where every resident has a view and access to beautifully maintained outdoor areas. Many commend the community for its nurturing atmosphere, underlined by the presence of a resident dog and a committed kitchen staff, some of whom have shown loyalty to the community for over 15 years. Visitors and relatives frequently mention the staff's kindness, the engaging activities, and the homely feel of the community, reflecting its success in creating a caring and welcoming environment for its residents.
However, some reviews hint at a period of transition that may have impacted the quality of care provided. Concerns were raised about the decline in care quality over time due to corporate changes and leadership transitions, although recent efforts for improvement have been acknowledged. Additionally, while many reviews praise the food and accommodations, there is mention of the food being "a little mediocre". Despite these challenges, the community continues to be recommended for its devoted staff and the sense of home it offers to residents, indicating that for many, the positive aspects far outweigh the concerns.
