Residents and their families say:

This community has been praised for its clean facilities, friendly and welcoming atmosphere, and a wide array of activities available to residents, from recreational activities like bingo and cornhole to performances and special events such as cakewalks for Halloween. The staff have been described as personable and very helpful, often going out of their way to assist and engage with residents. Many reviewers highlighted the quality and variety of the food offered as a positive aspect. Living arrangements provide independence with assistance available when needed, including help with medication and meals provided three times a day. The community also offers transportation services for shopping and medical appointments, enhancing the residents’ quality of life. The physical infrastructure, including rooms with balconies and the possibility to customize living spaces, such as installing walk-in showers, was viewed favorably.
However, some reviewers have voiced concerns, including issues with food quality and quantity, delayed or insufficient cleaning services, and a need for more staff presence, especially in the evenings. Complaints about the maintenance of common areas and the need for updates in decor were mentioned, as well as the community potentially struggling with staff friendliness and availability post-sales process. Financial management concerns were raised, including instances of being double billed. Despite these criticisms, many residents and their families recommend this community for its overall service, safety measures, and the sense of belonging it offers to those who live there. The community stands out for its efforts to keep residents engaged and cared for, particularly during challenging times such as the pandemic.
