Residents and their families say:

This community has garnered positive feedback from many reviewers, primarily highlighting the exceptional care and attention residents receive across various departments, such as in-patient rehab, assisted living, and the nursing staff. Families have expressed deep gratitude for the comprehensive care their loved ones received, which spans from the social worker, nurses, CNAs, food service staff, to the therapy team, indicating a well-rounded and dedicated approach to resident welfare. The efforts made by the staff to ensure each resident feels comfortable and well taken care of, even in challenging situations or when handling the COVID-19 pandemic, did not go unnoticed. The attention to residents’ hobbies and personal interests, such as arranging golf cart rides for a resident passionate about golf, further exemplifies the community's commitment to enriching residents' lives.

However, some concerns were raised about management changes, facility maintenance upgrades, and the need for improved staff remuneration, which a few reviewers feel could potentially affect the quality of care. The loss of a CEO who was considered incredible impacted some families' perceptions of the community's direction, although the presence of dedicated employees and some positively viewed administrative changes hints at a balancing act of challenges and improvements. A few reviewers had individual preferences or needs that led them to consider other communities, pointing to the importance of personal fit when choosing a living facility. Issues such as a desire for more intensive interactions during tours and observations about the community feeling too large for personal comfort were among the reasons cited for looking elsewhere. Despite these areas of concern, the many expressions of satisfaction, gratitude, and endorsement for the community, especially regarding the quality of staff and the range of activities and services provided to residents, showcase a fundamentally positive living environment.
