Residents and their families say:

This community receives mixed reviews with many praising its staff and facilities, while others express concerns about certain aspects of care and communication. Multiple reviewers highlight the caring, friendly, and attentive nature of the staff, noting the community’s welcoming environment and comprehensive amenities. Many mention the facility as beautiful and well-located, with recommendations for its overall quality and variety of services. Activities such as physical and occupational therapy, as well as diverse dining options, are also appreciated by residents and their families.

However, not all feedback is positive. One reviewer mentions inadequate communication and cleanliness issues in specific areas, as well as high costs and a lack of certain equipment like a Hoyer lift, highlighting the need to thoroughly research before selecting the facility. Additionally, another reviewer notes staffing challenges during weekends affecting care, though they commend the staff's caring nature and the variety of activities and food offered. Potential residents and families are encouraged to consider both positive and negative aspects when evaluating this community.
