Residents and their families say:

This community has garnered positive remarks for its friendly staff, well-maintained and clean facilities, and a vibrant atmosphere that is conducive to the well-being and happiness of its residents.

The staff’s compassionate approach and dedication to the residents are frequently highlighted, contributing to a familial atmosphere where residents feel cared for and valued.

However, there have been some criticisms, notably regarding the state of the apartments, with one reviewer mentioning outdated cabinets suggesting a need for updates. Another significant concern raised was the presence of mice, as noted by a reviewer, which raises questions about pest control measures in place. Additionally, there were mentions of navigational challenges within the community due to the lack of detailed maps on their website, making it difficult for some to find their way around. Despite these issues, the overwhelming number of reviews express satisfaction with the care, amenities, and overall quality of life provided by this community, indicating that it remains a highly recommended option for those seeking a welcoming and caring environment for their loved ones.
