Residents and their families say:

This community has received a multitude of positive reviews praising it for its caring staff, cleanliness, and overall welcoming atmosphere. Many reviewers have expressed gratitude for the exceptional level of care provided to their family members, particularly noting the kindness and professionalism of the staff across various levels of care. One reviewer highlighted the facility's exceptional cleanliness, friendly staff, and commendable treatment of veterans. Facilities such as a barbershop, library, and café, along with organized outings, were mentioned as part of the efforts to create a pleasant living environment. Events and programs, especially for veterans, were also appreciated, pointing to a well-rounded approach to care and community engagement.
Despite the strong positive feedback, there were a few areas of concern raised. One reviewer mentioned a negative experience regarding the visitor policy, which restricted them from seeing their grandparent during a significant holiday due to a limit on the number of visitors. This point suggests a need for flexibility in policies, especially during important family moments. Another area of criticism related to maintenance issues like wet floors without warning signs and unclean bathrooms. This indicates room for improvement in ensuring the safety and hygiene of the environment.
In summary, the consensus is that this community is a caring, vibrant place for residents, particularly veterans, offering a range of amenities and activities.
