Residents and their families say:

This community has garnered positive feedback for its welcoming and congenial atmosphere, with many reviewers highlighting the happiness and satisfaction of residents. People have noted the spacious and clean rooms, the variety of activities available, including exercise classes, arts, crafts, and trips to local attractions, which contribute to a strong sense of community and socialization opportunities for residents. The inclusion of amenities such as hair and nail salons and the availability of transportation services were also appreciated. Family members of residents have expressed gratitude for the attentive and caring staff, the sense of safety and well-being their loved ones experience, and the ease of transitioning into the community. The food generally receives positive remarks for its variety and quality, although there have been a few mentions of meals being overcooked or not meeting expectations.
However, there were some recurring issues raised across multiple reviews. Concerns about cleanliness, particularly regarding pest control, and the quality of food were mentioned by more than one reviewer. Complaints about the staff, mainly the office staff being perceived as rude or unresponsive, and a lack of thorough cleaning were also noted. Despite these criticisms, the community's efforts to keep residents engaged and cater to their needs, especially during challenging times like COVID lockdowns, were well-received. The dedicated activities directors and the overall friendly environment have led to numerous endorsements of the community from both current residents and their families.
