Reviews

Residents and their families say:

This community has garnered a mix of feedback, with several reviewers highlighting its strengths while a couple have expressed concerns. Positive comments frequently touch on the community’s well-designed living spaces, the comprehensive range of amenities and activities provided, and the quality of the food, which many found to be excellent. Reviewers have praised the cleanliness of the facility, the friendly and dedicated staff, and the value for money the community provides. Many appreciated the variety of activities available, including physical training classes, book clubs, and gardening opportunities, ensuring residents have ample choice for engagement. The community’s location near shopping centers and its beautiful outdoor spaces, including trails and courtyards, have also been noted as significant advantages.
However, some negative remarks were made about staffing issues, with mentions of the community being very short staffed and relying on outside agencies for staffing, which could impact the consistency of service. Concerns were raised about the residents not receiving services for which they are paying, and the quality of food not meeting expectations for all. Additionally, a couple of reviewers found the rooms, particularly the kitchenettes, to be smaller than desirable, and there was a mention of a waiting list for two-bedroom apartments. Despite these criticisms, many feel that the community provides a supportive and enjoyable environment, with an emphasis on catering to the varying needs of its residents, from independent living to memory care.
