Residents and their families say:

This community has garnered positive feedback for its spacious and modern facilities, including large apartments with amenities such as full kitchens, big walk-in closets, and in-unit laundry rooms. Residents and their families praised the wide range of activities available, the clean and airy environment, and the beautiful outdoor spaces designed for gatherings and leisure. The staff members were consistently highlighted for their kindness and professionalism, making residents feel comfortable and well-cared for. The inclusion of housekeeping services, a library, and a small pool for activities like water aerobics added to the appeal of the community.

However, concerns were raised regarding the management and the perceived additional costs for services that seemed to be high or escalating. Some reviewers mentioned slow dining services and errors, as well as challenges with medication management by the nursing staff. The high cost of living in this community was a frequent concern, with some feeling that the value did not align with the expense. Additionally, there were comments about the memory care section not being suitable for all residents, leading to difficult decisions for families about relocating loved ones. Despite these criticisms, the overall sentiment was that this community offered a vibrant and supportive environment for its residents, albeit at a premium cost.
