Residents and their families say:

This community appears to have garnered a lot of positive sentiment from its residents, with many highlighting the quality facilities, supportive staff, and the array of activities available that enhance their living experience. From moving in over a decade ago to just recently, residents have expressed satisfaction with the decision to call this place home, emphasizing the sense of family among staff and residents, the maintenance of the apartments, and the excellent dining options. The accessibility of different types of care on one campus, such as independent living, assisted living, and memory care, has also been noted as a significant advantage, allowing for an easy transition should needs change over time. There's a strong sense of community spirit about the place, with activities and engagements designed to fit a variety of interests, ensuring residents have the opportunity to lead a balanced and enjoyable life. During the pandemic, the management's response was particularly praised for keeping residents safe and secure, further cementing the faith in the community's commitment to their well-being.
However, there were a couple of areas touched upon negatively by more than one reviewer, such as the community being understaffed, and some instances of discourteous behavior from the staff at the bistro, especially over the weekends. Despite these criticisms, the overarching sentiment remains overwhelmingly positive, focusing on the compassionate care, the array of facilities and services provided, and the overall contentment with the life at the community. Some residents explicitly addressed the imperfections of the community but juxtaposed them against the overall excellence of the living experience there, reinforcing the notion that while no place is perfect, this community makes a sincere effort to address and resolve issues, fostering a supportive and engaged living environment for all its residents.
