Residents and their families say:

This community has received mixed feedback from visitors and relatives of residents, with many highlighting the attentive and caring staff, the neat and home-like facilities, and the variety of activities and amenities available. Positive comments often mentioned the clean and beautifully decorated building, the personal touches in rooms that allowed for individual furniture, and the specific activities like balloon volleyball that brought joy to residents. The variation in room styles, complete with kitchenettes, and the communal spaces such as outdoor areas, libraries, activity and sitting rooms, was particularly appreciated. Moreover, the inclusion of pets and the thoughtful decoration for holidays like the Fourth of July added a sense of warmth and community. The detailed tours led by friendly and knowledgeable staff members offered a comprehensive view of what life could be like there, and for many, it was an appealing prospect.
However, several concerns were raised, casting shadows on the glowing reviews. High employee turnover and the frequent use of agency caregivers, who were perceived to provide minimal assistance, were significant issues for some. This staffing situation was noted to impact the level of care and engagement, particularly in the memory care section, where stimulation for residents was lacking. Additionally, the financial aspect of this community was a notable concern, with several reviewers pointing out the constant extra charges for services like nursing or assistance with daily activities. This nickel-and-diming approach, combined with a lack of transparency about pricing upfront, left some feeling uneasy. Despite the wholesome environment and the plethora of activities, the cost factor and the declining quality of care over time were distressing points for those considering this community for their loved ones.
