Reviews

Residents and their families say:

This community has garnered positive remarks for its friendly staff, clean and well-maintained facilities, and a variety of amenities and activities offered to residents. One reviewer highlighted the conscientious staff and the availability of fresh fruits throughout the day, noting the community's efforts to meet dietary needs. Another pointed out the positive atmosphere created by the staff and the effort to keep the place well-maintained and welcoming. The community’s location, being close to shopping areas and providing transportation to various places around town, was appreciated by many. The availability of multiple apartments to fit different budgets and aesthetics has made it a good fit for several reviewers, and amenities like a workout room, elevators, and a parking garage received special mentions. Residents and their families have expressed satisfaction with the dining options, the cleanliness of the apartments, and the overall sense of community.
However, some reviewers did raise concerns about specific aspects of the community. A few mentioned that the apartments felt small and noted issues with the air conditioning units being outdated. The food quality and variety seem to be a recurring concern for some, alongside the perception of the facility not being as updated as others. One reviewer was disappointed by the lack of kitchen facilities in the apartments. Another common thread was about the food, where instances of meals being cold or not as per the menu were mentioned. The feedback also touched upon the staff's responsiveness, with one person noting that the maintenance team was not always willing to assist. These points of criticism, however, were balanced by many positive comments about the staff's friendliness, the array of activities available, and the overall cleanliness and maintenance of the community's facilities.
