Reviews

Residents and their families say:

This community has garnered a variety of feedback, with many highlighting the positive aspects such as the friendly and caring staff, the beautiful and well-maintained facility, and the comfortable and secure environment that makes people feel at home. Residents and volunteers alike praise the supportive community atmosphere, where staff are always polite, helpful, and available to answer questions. The independent living staff, in particular, received several commendations for their excellent service. The community is described as a perfect place to live, with great units, cleanliness, and a welcoming environment that fosters strong bonds among residents. The lush surroundings and access to nature have also been a point of delight for many, adding to the overall satisfaction with the community.
However, there are mentions of management issues and negative interactions with staff, specifically citing a lack of regard for individuals' time and concerns, although these are more isolated in nature. One reviewer shared a personal narrative reflecting challenges with management and staff turnover, feeling that the genuine care for residents and their well-being was sometimes overshadowed by financial motivations. This was contrasted by numerous testimonials from residents who have experienced profound support and camaraderie within the community, especially during challenging times, such as the loss of a spouse. Despite the few criticisms, the sentiment that radiates from most reviews is one of gratitude and a deep appreciation for the community that has become their "Forever Home", offering a mix of socialization, privacy, and care.
