Reviews

Residents and their families say:

This community is highly praised for its cleanliness, safety, and the tight-knit atmosphere it provides for residents. Visitors and workers alike have noted the community's beautiful landscaping, impressive facilities, and overall welcoming environment. Several reviews highlighted the property’s well-maintained condition, classy dining areas, and the extensive care taken to ensure resident satisfaction. The community's provision of free food for workers, although with a noted lack of breaks, and its historically beautiful, tree-lined setting also receive specific mention. The informative sessions available for prospective residents were appreciated for putting the community in perspective against other options.
However, a few critiques emerge among the positive feedback. Specifically, the community is described as slightly overpriced by some. Additionally, the cafeteria, despite being praised for affordability, reportedly offers a limited selection, and pricing at times felt like mere 'guidelines'. These points, however, seem minor when weighed against the community's numerous positives. The consensus suggests this is an excellent retirement community, possibly even the “best senior living facility” some reviewers have ever seen, making it a considerable option for those exploring retirement living solutions.
