Reviews

Residents and their families say:

Residents and visitors have shared a great deal of admiration for this community, frequently highlighting the warm, welcoming atmosphere, the excellent quality of meals, and the plethora of activities available to keep everyone engaged and entertained. The staff has been consistently praised for their friendliness and attentiveness, ensuring that residents feel at home and well cared for. Many appreciate the community's efforts to improve and maintain the facility, including renovations and the addition of amenities such as a chapel and various entertainment options like a movie theater area. The general manager has been specifically lauded for her open-door policy and her proactive approach to addressing residents' needs and enhancing their living experience. The diet is noted for being appetizing and meeting the residents' nutritional requirements, with special mention of the delicious options prepared by the chef.
However, some concerns have been raised regarding the facility's physical structure and maintenance. Multiple reviews mentioned that the building appears older and could benefit from updates, including addressing issues related to the availability and size of elevators, which seems to be a more significant concern for those with mobility challenges. Another recurring point was that maintaining a high standard of housekeeping and timely maintenance responses could improve. While the culinary offerings are generally praised, a few reviewers found the food to be occasionally below expectations in terms of quality and variety, especially during dinner. Despite these points, the sense of community, dedicated staff, and variety of engaging activities have provided many residents with a comfortable, enjoyable living environment, fostering a strong sense of belonging and satisfaction among those who call it home.
