Reviews

Residents and their families say:

This community receives high praise for its beautiful campus, friendly residents, and attentive staff. Many reviewers emphasized the cleanliness of the facilities and the professional, caring nature of the staff. The accommodations were noted to be great, with impressive size apartments and a variety of care options for retirees. The community is not only well-maintained but also provides thoughtful employees and a wide range of activities, contributing to a positive living experience. Residents and their families appreciate the community's efforts in creating a welcoming and friendly environment for both living and working, with some expressing a desire to retire there due to the high quality of life provided.
However, there are some areas of concern within the community. A few reviewers mentioned issues such as management not meeting expectations, overpriced services, and the food quality being subpar. Additionally, one review highlighted a less welcoming attitude towards younger individuals or those not perceived as wealthy enough, which contrasts sharply with the inclusive and caring environment described by most. Negative interactions with some members of the maintenance staff were noted, and there were also mixed reviews regarding the satisfaction levels of current residents. Despite these criticisms, the majority of comments reflect a strong satisfaction with the community, citing the respectful and helpful nature of the management and staff, and the overall positive impact on the lives of its residents.
