Residents and their families say:

This community garners predominantly positive feedback from visitors and family members who have experiences or loved ones residing there. Many reviewers highlight the friendly nature of both the staff and the residents, creating a welcoming and congenial atmosphere that feels like a family. The various amenities, including well-curated activities such as piano playing, card games, and the availability of facilities like a library and a small workout area, contribute to a vibrant, engaging community life. The dining experience also receives commendation for its good food and the variety of meal options provided, ensuring that dietary preferences and needs are well catered to.
However, some concerns were noted, particularly regarding room conditions and the size of the units. Specific mentions were made about rooms on the lower floors being dark, outdated, and lacking in coziness. Additionally, the absence of assisted living services and the lack of a Medicaid acceptance policy were drawbacks for some potential residents and their families. Another noteworthy point of criticism across multiple reviews was the absence of WiFi throughout the building, which was seen as a lapse in meeting contemporary expectations for connectivity. Despite these issues, many individuals expressed satisfaction with the community’s efforts to foster a safe, independent, yet supportive environment, especially praising the staff’s friendliness and professionalism. The community’s approach to navigating the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, prioritizing resident safety and engagement, was also commended.
