Residents and their families say:

This community has received a mix of feedback from its residents and visitors, with many highlighting its clean facilities, beautiful location, and expansive views. Residents appreciate the delicious food, diverse activities, and well-maintained living spaces, with one reviewer highlighting the convenience and thoughtful design of the apartments. There's a strong sense of community with friendly staff known for their helpfulness and care, going above and beyond to personalize experiences. Features such as entertainment options, a movie theater, and dining with ocean views are consistently praised, enhancing the overall living experience.

However, some criticism includes the size of the rooms and common areas perceived as small by some, particularly given the premium pricing. While the staff is generally lauded for their dedication and the facility for its cleanliness and location, concerns about the quality of care, inconsistency in services, and staff turnover have been noted by a few reviewers. Some families feel that the amenities and services do not always justify the cost, and there have been specific mentions of issues like long wait times for meals and the implementation of care plans. Yet, the community is taking steps towards improvement, indicated by changes in management and efforts to address resident feedback. The community's drive for inclusivity, acknowledging diversity among its residents, stands out as a positive aspect.
