Residents and their families say:

This community has garnered positive feedback for its cleanliness, friendly staff, and range of amenities. Many reviewers appreciated the variety of rooms available for different activities, from crafts and card games to dining and watching TV, highlighting the community's capacity to host gatherings of varying sizes. The apartments were described as beautiful, well-kept, and providing a sense of home, with one reviewer particularly valuing the privacy their apartment offered. The dining experience also received praise for its quality of meals and pleasant dining room atmosphere. A notable feature for many was the community's pet-friendly policy, which factored significantly into the decision-making for some families. Moreover, the range of activities, including in-house fun, day trips, and special events like holiday-themed outings, contributed to a lively and engaging environment for residents.

Despite the glowing reviews, there were criticisms concerning management's handling of refunds related to uninhabitable room situations, with multiple reviewers experiencing delays and partial refunds, which sullied their impression of the community. Additionally, some found the price increases to be steep over time. Another recurrent issue mentioned was the size of the studio apartments, perceived as too small by a few visitors. The lack of specific wheelchair transportation services was also highlighted as a drawback for one reviewer. Nonetheless, these concerns were counterbalanced by many positive aspects, such as accommodating staff during move-ins, a variety of spacious and clean living options, and the community's overall welcoming and warm atmosphere. The provision of medical assistance alongside independence, excellent dining options, and the various amenities like gyms, salons, and recreational rooms were highly appreciated features that made many recommend this community to others.
