Reviews

Residents and their families say:

This community has garnered a plethora of positive feedback from residents, their family members, and volunteers alike, all praising its welcoming environment, attentive staff, and numerous amenities. Many reviews highlight the friendly and helpful nature of the staff across various departments, creating a comfortable and supportive atmosphere for residents. The community's cleanliness and beautiful decorations, along with its vibrant activities and high-quality meals, are frequently mentioned, contributing to a satisfying resident experience. The availability of a diverse range of care levels, from independent living to more specialized services such as hospice care, ensures that individual needs are met effectively.
However, there have been some concerns raised by reviewers. Notably, parking for visitors has been described as inadequate, and some family members felt their loved ones required more assistance than was provided. Criticisms also include a need for more healthy meal options and concerns over COVID-19 protocols. A particular review mentioned inappropriate music being played in the memory care section, highlighting a room for improvement in resident engagement. Despite these criticisms, the overarching sentiment remains highly positive, with the community's ability to provide compassionate, personal care and a broad array of resident activities standing out as key strengths.
