Residents and their families say:

This community has received numerous positive reviews from residents and their families, highlighting its comprehensive amenities, exceptional care, and welcoming environment. Many reviewers appreciated the variety of living options available, including independent living cottages, assisted living, and memory care, which cater to varying needs and preferences. The amenities, such as indoor and outdoor swimming pools, a rehab room, physical therapy, a gym, a salon, and a wide range of activities, contribute to a vibrant community atmosphere. Reviewers frequently mentioned the high quality of the dining experience, noting the variety and deliciousness of the food.

However, several points of concern were raised, with some reviewers finding the community expensive and the assisted living quarters a bit too small. There were also mentions of staffing issues, with some reviewers noticing short staffing and a high turnover rate, which affected the level of care and service. Some reviews criticized the community for its handling of certain situations and communication with families, particularly regarding residents' care and the responsiveness of the administration. Additionally, aspects of the facilities, such as certain areas appearing rundown or not being as clean as expected, were highlighted as areas needing improvement. Despite these concerns, the overwhelmingly positive feedback indicates that many residents and their families are satisfied with the care, amenities, and lifestyle offered by the community.
