Reviews

Residents and their families say:

This community has received a lot of praise for its beautiful facility, friendly staff, and a wide range of amenities and activities available to residents. Reviewers have appreciated the community's efforts to maintain a welcoming and secure environment, noting the cleanliness and well-maintenance of the facility. Many reviewers highlighted the extensive menu and quality of the food offered in the dining area, as well as the communal dining setup which allows residents to socialize and interact, enhancing the community feel. The presence of balconies in each apartment, alongside various on-site amenities like a barbershop, beauty salon, game room, and library, has been particularly well-received. Reviewers have also lauded the staff for their friendliness and attentiveness, ensuring that residents feel well cared for and supported.
However, not all feedback was positive. Some critical points raised by multiple reviewers included concerns regarding the pricing being a bit high and some services, like the meal plan and housekeeping, experiencing shifts due to COVID-19 constraints. A few reviewers noted a lack of full kitchens in the apartments and limited in-unit laundry facilities, which detracted from the overall independent living experience for some. Despite these criticisms, many reviewers expressed satisfaction with their decision to choose this community for themselves or their loved ones, citing the strong sense of community, variety of activities, and overall quality of life as significant positives.
The community has managed to create a sense of belonging and inclusion through thoughtful amenities and services, although some areas like dining service regimentation and the availability of more modern, fully-equipped apartments could see improvement. Regardless, the positive comments about the community's environment, staff, and resident satisfaction suggest a genuinely caring and quality living space for seniors seeking an independent lifestyle with available support as needed.
