Reviews

Residents and their families say:

This community has received a variety of feedback from residents and visitors, highlighting both its strengths and areas for improvement. Many reviewers praised the community for its cleanliness, friendly and accommodating staff, and the wide range of amenities including libraries, workout rooms, and entertainment options such as pianos and organized activities like movie nights, exercise classes, and social outings. The meals provided at the community have been described as delicious by some, emphasizing the quality and variety of the food, which seems to contribute significantly to the residents' satisfaction. The accommodation options, especially the apartments with small balconies, were noted for their beauty and comfort, offering residents a pleasant living space. The community's efforts to foster a welcoming and vibrant atmosphere were also commended, with many reviewers highlighting the ease of socializing and making new friends, which is facilitated by the various clubs and activities available.
However, despite the numerous positive comments, there were some aspects of the community that came under criticism. One notable point of discontent was the quality of meals which seemed to have deteriorated over time, particularly after the departure of a chef, affecting some residents' enjoyment and overall satisfaction with the community's services. Additionally, concerns were raised about the lack of certain amenities such as full kitchens in some housing options, which was a drawback for those who prefer to prepare their own meals. The availability of transportation services was another issue, with some residents experiencing inconvenience due to its absence, which was previously promised as part of the community's offerings.
Despite the few criticisms, the community was often described as pet-friendly and supportive of residents' needs, including the provision of extra services such as AdvisaCare for those requiring additional assistance. The variety of apartment styles and the flexibility to add on services like pill management or laundry cater to a diverse range of resident needs and preferences. The community is recognized for creating a warm, welcoming environment where both staff and residents interact positively, contributing to the overall sense of belonging and happiness among those who live there.
