Reviews

Residents and their families say:

This community is praised for its welcoming, clean, and peaceful environment with residents and staff members noted for their friendliness and helpfulness. Many reviewers highlighted the good maintenance of the facility, the variety of activities available—including movies, bingo, and outings—and the quality of food served. The community’s close proximity to hospitals and assisted living facilities, alongside in-house amenities such as a dining area, exercise classes, and personalized care options, adds to its appeal. Transportation services to shopping stores and appointments are also highly valued, enhancing the residents' independence and quality of life.
However, some reviewers expressed concerns about the size and dated appearance of the apartments, suggesting a need for updates or larger options. The cost, particularly when it comes to rent increases, was mentioned as a concern for some. Additionally, inconsistencies in housekeeping services and specific dissatisfaction with the food variety and portion sizes were noted. While the community does not offer advanced care options like assisted living within the same facility, this limitation didn't significantly detract from its overall positive reception. Despite these concerns, the community is frequently recommended for its homely atmosphere, attentive staff, and the contentment of its residents.
