Reviews

Residents and their families say:

This community has received a variety of positive feedback from residents and visitors alike, particularly highlighting its cleanliness, friendly staff, and the appealing aesthetics of both the interior and the surroundings. Many reviewers were impressed by the comprehensive range of activities available to residents, the pet-friendly policy, and the diverse, flexible meal options offered by a new chef, which were generally well-received. The community's setting, characterized by beautiful landscapes with rolling hills, trees, and wildlife, along with well-appointed rooms and communal areas, contributed to a soothing and comfortable environment. The inclusivity of an a la carte medical and service plan was highly appreciated for its flexibility and simplicity, allowing residents to pay only for the services they need at any given time.
Despite the numerous positive remarks, there were some recurring concerns related to the food service. Several reviews mentioned dissatisfaction with the quality and variety of meals, as well as issues with meal service times and lack of responsiveness from the dining staff. The apartments, while generally liked, were considered small and in need of updates by some. Activities were another area where improvements were suggested, to enhance engagement and communication among residents. Despite these criticisms, the community was still recommended by many reviewers for its overall friendliness, cleanliness, and the quality of care provided.
