Residents and their families say:

This community has garnered a lot of positive feedback from visitors and residents alike, particularly for its friendly staff, variety of activities, and dining options. Many appreciated the extensive menu and the quality of meals served, although there were a couple of mentions that the food could be hit or miss. The community's ground and maintenance received high praise, creating a pleasant, welcoming environment. The range of activities available was a highlight for many, ensuring that residents could engage in social events that suit their interests. The variety in room layouts and the ability to accommodate mobility aids like wheelchairs and walkers also stood out, indicating thoughtful consideration towards residents’ diverse needs.
However, a few drawbacks were noted, including the absence of a pool, which was a deal-breaker for a swimming enthusiast, and the location being on a hillside, which presented challenges for those seeking flat walking surfaces. Some potential residents were concerned about the size of the apartments, particularly for couples, and a few pointed out that the food selection, while generally good, could sometimes feel more cafeteria-like and less varied than desired. Moreover, while the staff was overwhelmingly described as friendly and accommodating, there were isolated mentions of a wish for more welcoming interactions from certain staff members and a more thorough cleaning service. It's also important to note that, despite these concerns, the sense of community, the availability of on-site amenities, and the overall maintenance and aesthetics of the facility were significant positives that contributed to a welcoming and comfortable living environment for its residents.
