Residents and their families say:

This community has received a mix of positive feedback from visitors and residents' families, highlighting the supportive and compassionate staff, clean and elegant facilities, and a variety of social activities that residents enjoy. Many reviews praise the quality of care, personalized service from staff, including professional nursing care, and the range of facilities available, likening the environment more to a high-end hotel than a typical assisted living facility. The food generally receives positive comments for its variety and quality, with wine at dinner and the availability of private dining areas for family events being particularly appreciated. Activities are described as stimulating and creative, catering to a wide range of interests from music to car shows, and strengthening the community's sense of engagement and well-being.

However, there are some areas of concern mentioned. One significant issue is the staffing levels, especially noted during nighttime, where the caregiver to resident ratio was found lacking, exacerbated by a high turnover rate among staff. This has led to instances where emergency situations were not addressed as promptly as required, causing distress to families. Additionally, some reviews pointed to the high cost of the facility as a potential downside, and a few mentioned that certain aspects, like meal selection and activities suitable for residents with poor eyesight, could benefit from improvement. Despite these concerns, the community comes highly recommended by many for its beautiful setting, excellent care, and the sense of safety and happiness it provides to its residents and their families.
