Residents and their families say:

This community has earned high praise from its residents for the array of amenities and activities it offers, as well as the quality of care and environment provided. Residents appreciate the comfortable and positive atmosphere, highlighting the community's ability to foster a sense of belonging and engagement through various activities such as winter walks, swimming in an indoor salt-water pool, and attending discussions on current events. The dining experience at this community is particularly commended for its delicious meals and wide range of choices. The staff's courteous, professional, and attentive service further enhances the living experience, contributing to the community's reputation as a happy and luxurious place to live. The meticulously maintained property, with its extensive grounds featuring gardens, woods, trails, and ponds, adds to the appeal, making it an ideal setting for those who enjoy nature and outdoor activities.
However, a concern was raised about the quality of food in the dining room experiencing a decline, which was attributed to new management or kitchen staff seemingly overlooking residents' expectations. This point of criticism, mentioned in one review, suggests an area for improvement. Yet, the overwhelming majority of feedback focuses on the positive aspects, such as the engaging and diverse community of residents, the variety and quality of activities available, and the comprehensive health care options, including skilled nursing care which is highly recommended by family members of residents. The community's location, positioned between major cities and near a pleasant small town, also receives positive mentions, alongside the availability of guest apartments and the skilled, attentive care provided during rehab stays.
