Residents and their families say:

This community offers a broad spectrum of care levels, meeting the needs of residents with varying requirements, from those requiring significant assistance to individuals seeking less intensive support. Many visitors and family members commend the cleanliness of the facilities and the dedication of the staff towards resident care. The community is highlighted for its welcoming of pets, availability of resident parking, and provision of a multitude of activities and meals, contributing to a vibrant, engaging environment for its residents.

However, some have expressed concerns regarding the physical appearance and the initial impression of the community, describing it from the outside as uninviting and noting that the interior, though cleaner and nicer, seemed outdated and in need of renovations. The absence of private bathrooms in bedrooms and the location of these facilities down the hallway were specific drawbacks mentioned by more than one reviewer. Cost and size are also considered deterrents for some potential residents, with one commenter finding the community too large and potentially overwhelming for their family member with Alzheimer's. Despite these criticisms, the overall sentiment from family members toward the care provided, especially within the memory care unit, is positive, with staff commended for their encouraging approach and attentiveness to individual needs such as nutrition and personal interaction.
