Residents and their families say:

This community has garnered praise for its friendly staff, range of activities, and the overall cleanliness and maintenance of the facility. Many residents and their families appreciate the welcoming atmosphere, the variety of meals offered, and the sense of community among residents. The independent living focus caters well to those who wish to remain active and self-sufficient, with amenities such as transportation services, housekeeping, and recreational opportunities enhancing the living experience. The on-site dining receives mixed reviews, with some noting the meals as a highlight, while others wish for more variety or have concerns about the quality. The provision of housekeeping and the inclusion of utilities in the rent are frequently mentioned positives. The presence of pets, even with extra charges, is appreciated by animal lovers.

However, some recurring issues are noted by multiple reviewers. The lack of nursing or assisted living services in-house means that residents requiring additional care must hire external help, which can be costly. Concerns about the food, including its variety and serving sizes, have been voiced, alongside issues with meal delivery times. Several reviews also mention discrepancies between advertised and actual costs, especially regarding room rates, which may be significantly higher than expected. Maintenance issues related to old infrastructure, such as problems with water, gas, and electrical systems, have been highlighted. Despite these concerns, the sense of community, engaging activities, and dedicated staff contribute to a generally positive living environment, making it a recommended choice for those seeking independent senior living arrangements.
