Reviews

Residents and their families say:

Residents and visitors have shared a mix of positive experiences and concerns about this community. Many residents feel at home and appreciate the friendliness of both the staff and other residents. A number of reviews highlight the cleanliness of the facility, the breadth of activities available, and the sense of community fostered among residents, making newcomers feel welcomed and quickly integrated. The staff's commitment to resident satisfaction and their efforts to provide a variety of entertainment and engagement opportunities are frequently commended. Some residents specifically noted the joy and comfort found in the pet-friendly policy, as well as the scenic views and outdoor spaces that contribute to the overall satisfaction with living arrangements.
However, there are notable concerns. Several reviewers mentioned issues with the dining service, including the quality and variety of food, and some dissatisfaction with meal portion sizes. Complaints about specific aspects of the apartments, such as the need for updates and the lack of kitchen amenities in certain units, were brought up. There were also mentions of inconsistency in the availability and reliability of included services like transportation and maid service, which seemed to detract from the overall experience for some. It's worth noting that while the community has many advocates, instances of poor management and challenges with the ancillary services offered, such as the on-site homecare provider, were also highlighted. Despite these criticisms, many reviews underline the benefits of the community's environment, staff responsiveness, and the value found in the amenities offered, suggesting a broadly positive view with room for improvements.
