Reviews

Residents and their families say:

This community receives a mix of positive feedback for its amenities, staff friendliness, and the range of activities available to residents. Many reviewers highlight the cleanliness and appealing layout of the place, noting that the apartments, communal areas, and grounds are well-maintained. The staff is frequently described as professional, informative, and caring, with many pointing out that they go out of their way to make residents feel welcomed and included. The community's array of activities, including board games, movie nights, crafts, and outdoor excursions, receives praise for keeping residents engaged and active. Specially themed events and the provision of daily meals—with options for ordering off-menu—are also appreciated features that contribute to a positive living experience for many residents and their families.
However, there are recurring criticisms concerning the quality of food, with multiple reviews mentioning it being served cold or not meeting expectations, suggesting room for improvement in this area. Another point of concern is the responsiveness and availability of staff, with one reviewer mentioning a significant delay in food service in the dining area. While some appreciate the variety of food options, others desire more diversity and quality in meal offerings. The community's approach to independent living, including the lack of in-unit stoves and the option for family members to dine with residents initially for free, is generally viewed positively, though some reviewers express wishes for adjustments in certain service aspects like meal delivery. Despite these criticisms, many residents and their family members feel that the community offers a welcoming and vibrant environment conducive to senior living.
