Reviews

Residents and their families say:

This community is widely appreciated for its exceptional staff and high level of care provided to residents. Positive comments frequently highlight the community's dedicated, friendly, and caring staff, with particular praise for specific members who go above and beyond in their roles. The community is described as well-run with a comfortable, family-like atmosphere, making both residents and visitors feel at home. The memory care facility received special mention for its wonderful environment and the significant difference it makes in the lives of those with such needs. The inclusion of activities and events, like trick or treating for kids and potluck picnics, adds to the community's appeal by keeping residents engaged and happy.
However, there were a few points of contention noted by some reviewers. The most common complaint relates to the food, described as bland with little variation, which seems to stem from a lesser meal budget due to the community's smaller size. Another concern raised involves the rooms, with one reviewer mentioning that the quality of the rooms did not justify the cost, despite the great staff. While these criticisms were noted, they did not overshadow the overwhelmingly positive feedback about the care, staff, and overall atmosphere of the community.
