Residents and their families say:

This community has garnered a reputation for its friendly and helpful staff, from the warm welcomes at the front desk to the compassionate care provided by wellness and operations teams. Residents and their families praise the array of engagement activities available daily, highlighting the community's ability to cater to a wide range of interests and the quality of care for those needing extra support, including memory care. The dining services receive compliments for delicious meals, contributing to a sense of home and satisfaction among residents. Even during challenging times, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, the community's management and staff were lauded for their dedication to safety and resident well-being, including personal protective measures and maintaining a vibrant, engaging environment amidst restrictions.

However, some concerns were noted regarding the cost of living in this community, with one reviewer mentioning that the pricing for both one-bedroom and studio apartments seemed high. Another reviewer contrasted their experience with a different facility, suggesting that while the staff and maintenance standards were commendable, the lack of an extensive activity schedule and the initial financial requirement could be deterrents for some potential residents. Despite these concerns, the community stands out for its exceptional staff, varied and engaging activities, and the overall quality of life afforded to its residents, making it a valued place for loved ones.
