Residents and their families say:

This community is highly praised for its sense of community, quality care, multiple amenities, and activities, making it a choice destination for seniors seeking a vibrant and supportive living environment. Many reviews highlight the friendly and caring nature of both staff and residents, as well as the variety of social events, dining options, and the well-maintained and beautiful campus that includes everything from walking trails to scenic views. The availability of different living arrangements catering to various levels of independence and care needs, including rehabilitation facilities and nursing home facilities, is particularly appreciated. The effort by the community to maintain a positive atmosphere even during challenging times like the COVID-19 pandemic has not gone unnoticed, with many expressing gratitude for the support and safety measures implemented.

However, not all experiences have been positive, with one significant concern being the lack of care and compassion at a particular facility, as noted in a distressing account of neglect toward a resident. This same review also pointed out issues with pain management and the overall approach to care, suggesting inconsistencies in staff performance and oversight. Another recurring concern raised in multiple reviews pertains to the rehabilitation section, which reportedly requires more staff and equipment, and increased monitoring of the night crew. Despite these issues, the community's overall commitment to creating a welcoming and engaging environment for its residents stands out, with many testimonials attesting to a fulfilling and enjoyable senior living experience.
