This community has garnered positive feedback from many reviewers, highlighting its caring and compassionate staff, excellent food, and beautiful facility.

However, some areas of concern have been noted, primarily focusing on staff shortages and the need for more consistent training, particularly in the care aids realm. There have been instances of disappointment with the level of care received and the management's responsiveness to concerns, alongside dissatisfaction with certain aspects of the community's services, such as the quality of some meals and the execution of promised activities.
