Reviews

Residents and their families say:

This community has received a range of feedback from residents and their families, with many expressing satisfaction and praise for the facilities, staff, and services offered. Positive remarks frequently highlight the friendly and attentive nature of the staff, the high quality of care, especially in the memory units, and the range of activities available to residents. The food quality at the community is often described as very good, with multiple dining options that cater to various dietary needs and preferences being appreciated. The cleanliness and maintenance of the facilities, including the apartments which offer ample space and storage, are also commended. The inclusion of amenities such as a pool, exercise programs, and the provision of transportation services for medical appointments and outings contribute to a positive living environment.
However, some areas of concern were also noted by a few reviewers. The primary issues highlighted include challenges with dining services, such as long wait times and sometimes a shortage of food options, which may be attributed to staff shortages. The process of coordinating medical appointments and prescription deliveries was mentioned as a problem area for one resident, although it was hoped that this would improve. Additionally, there were comments about the need for better activities and more interaction in the independent living section. Some reviewers expressed concerns over the cost, noting that while the community offers excellent services, it can be expensive, potentially placing it out of reach for some budgets. There were also isolated reports of administrative and maintenance issues, such as phone service problems and delayed responses to resident needs.
In summary, this community is generally well-regarded for its friendly atmosphere, varied amenities, and the quality of its care and staff. The majority of residents and their families report high levels of satisfaction with the living experience here. Nonetheless, prospective residents should consider their budget and specific service expectations, as some have noted areas where improvements could enhance the overall experience.
