Reviews

Residents and their families say:

The community has received numerous positive reviews from both visitors and residents. Many commend the cleanliness, efficiency of the apartments, the quality of meals provided, the variety of activities like bingo, Bible study, book club, puzzles, and card games, as well as the friendly and helpful nature of the staff. The community's setting, featuring walking trails, a pond, and a well-maintained outdoor area, is often highlighted as a major positive aspect. The presence of a variety of amenities such as a library, exercise equipment, and housekeeping services adds to the appeal of the community for many. The dining experience, particularly the freshly baked rolls served daily, has received special mention for its quality, despite some guests feeling improvements could be made to the overall meal offerings.
However, there are certain recurring concerns among the residents and visitors. The lack of a gym and the absence of more extensive fitness facilities were noted by some as a drawback. Despite the excellent condition and cleanliness of the community, the inconsistency in food quality and the need for meal improvements were pointed out by multiple reviews. The distance between the cottages and central facilities, necessitating the use of golf carts for some, was perceived as inconvenient by visitors, although the residents seem to manage this well. The yearly increase in rent, along with reports of parking issues and the occasional lack of internet service in rooms, were among the other critiques mentioned. Despite these criticisms, the overwhelming majority of reviews celebrate the community's atmosphere, staff dedication, array of activities, and the overall care provided to the residents, making it a highly recommended place for seniors seeking independent living with support services.
