Reviews

Residents and their families say:

This community enjoys a reputation for its cleanliness, attentive and caring staff, and a wealth of amenities that contribute to the well-being and happiness of its residents. Many reviews applaud the friendly atmosphere, exceptional care, and responsiveness of the staff, which together create an environment that feels both welcoming and supportive. The community's culinary offerings are frequently highlighted, with the food and chef-prepared meals earning particular praise for their quality and flexibility in catering to residents' preferences. Activities and programs available are varied, fostering a vibrant community life that engages residents according to their interests and capabilities.
However, concerns were raised regarding occasional shortcomings, such as delayed repairs and issues with toilet paper supply, pointing to areas where operational efficiencies could be improved. Staffing levels have also drawn criticism, with some reviewers indicating that there may not always be sufficient staff on hand to meet demands at times, a concern that seems linked to broader challenges faced by many in the sector like pandemic-induced staffing issues. The cost of residing in this community is another point of contention for some, with it being described as expensive, which might place it out of reach for certain families despite the high quality of care and facilities offered. Additionally, the inability to personalize spaces due to restrictions on room modifications was mentioned as a downside, detracting slightly from the otherwise homelike ambiance of the community.
