Reviews

Residents and their families say:

This community seems to have received a mix of positive feedback with praise for its renovations, cleanliness, staff interaction, and variety of amenities including pools, libraries, clubhouses, and various social activities. Many reviewers appreciated the spacious and bright environments, pleasant dining areas, friendly and knowledgeable staff, and the sense of community among residents. The food quality was generally well-received, with certain reviewers finding it excellent. Activities, particularly once the new activities director is hired, are expected to be robust, catering to various interests like swimming lessons, games, and social gatherings. The living accommodations, ranging from studio apartments to private villa houses, were highlighted for being well-kept, ample, and accommodating, with some having kitchenettes, screened porches, or full kitchens and offering weekly housekeeping.
However, certain aspects did receive critique. Multiple comments were made about the ongoing renovations causing some areas to appear messy or inaccessible, although they were seen as a sign of improvement and promise for future enhancement of the facility. Some reviewers mentioned the rooms being small or dated, with a few expressing concerns over cleanliness and maintenance issues like peeling paint or a dusty environment. The cost of living in this community was a concern for some, describing it as expensive. Also, while activities are anticipated to increase, the current offering was seen as limited by a few, noting a need for an activities director to enhance the social engagement opportunities. Meals, although generally liked, had mixed reviews with some suggesting improvement in quality. Despite these concerns, the community's focus on fostering a lively, friendly atmosphere and the anticipation of further improvements post-renovation create an appealing picture for prospective residents.
