Residents and their families say:

This community has gathered a considerable amount of positive feedback from its residents and their families, highlighting its beautiful facilities, caring and efficient staff, and the wide range of activities and amenities that cater to the diverse needs and preferences of its inhabitants. Features such as the meticulously maintained gardens, spacious and accommodating rooms, and the availability of multiple dining areas that serve excellent food have contributed to making residents feel at home. The community’s commitment to providing a vibrant social life through events like bingo, exercise classes, and outdoor excursions has been well-received, fostering a sense of belonging and happiness among residents.
However, it's not without its criticisms. Some reviews pointed out issues such as staffing shortages and perceived inadequacies in staff training which seemed to affect the level of care provided. Concerns were also raised about the living conditions for memory care residents, noting insufficient seating in dining areas and inadequate entertainment and activities which are crucial for engaging residents with dementia. While these critiques were mentioned, it's clear that for many, the positive aspects greatly outweigh any negatives. The fact that some families have reported a seamless transition for their loved ones from independent to assisted living or memory care within this community speaks volumes about its ability to serve the evolving needs of its residents.
