Residents and their families say:

This community is frequently praised for its friendly and caring staff, which many reviewers found to be welcoming and supportive. Multiple reviewers noted the beautiful and well-maintained facility, highlighting its modern design and spacious apartments. They appreciated the wide variety of amenities available, such as a library, pool, and spaces for family gatherings. The atmosphere was often described as vibrant, with residents appearing happy and well-attended. The sense of security and cleanliness were common positive points.

However, some reviewers mentioned that the dining service could be slow, with occasional mistakes, and there was a desire for more varied activities. While the community offers a comprehensive amenities package, the cost is significant, with many additional charges, such as fees for storage, a garage, and pets. More than one review reported that the staff was less helpful on certain occasions, particularly during times of restricted access or special arrangements like notarizations.

In terms of management, there were criticisms about communication issues, specifically regarding returning phone calls. Additionally, restrictive pandemic-related measures left some residents and their families feeling isolated, describing their experiences in terms that suggested lack of a structured plan during the lockdown period. Despite these issues, many reviewers still felt the staff showed genuine kindness and diligence in their roles, which contributed to a generally positive impression of the community.
