Residents and their families say:

This community has received a mix of feedback, highlighting several positive aspects along with some areas for improvement. Many reviewers have praised the community for its friendliness and the quality of its staff, pointing out their professionalism, helpfulness, and the overall welcoming atmosphere they create. Residents and visitors alike enjoy the variety of activities available, including fun outings, entertainment, and the social opportunities provided, such as libraries, game nights, and fitness activities. The provision of three chef-prepared meals a day, with some reporting a second choice available, is another frequently mentioned benefit. The cleanliness and maintenance of the facility are also commended, along with security measures that contribute to a sense of safety among residents. The accommodations, particularly private apartments with balconies, are appreciated for their spaciousness and the quality of life they offer.
However, there are several recurring concerns. The most notable issue includes management and staff turnover, which some have described as leading to a dip in the quality of services. Specific grievances about the quality and variety of the food have been voiced, indicating a desire for improvement and more options, especially healthier ones for seniors or those with dietary restrictions. Complaints about inadequate transportation services after certain promises were not fulfilled have also been a significant concern, impacting residents' independence and access to external amenities. Additionally, the aftermath of a flood and the delayed restoration process caused considerable disruptions for the residents, affecting the availability of services and activities. Despite these issues, many maintain a positive view of the community, valuing the efforts of the staff and the amenities provided, while expressing hope for resolutions to the mentioned problems.
