Residents and their families say:

This community gathers a mix of feedback from residents, their families, and visitors. Many praise the caring and kind nature of the staff and the cleanliness of the facility. There's appreciation for the community's ability to create a secure and pleasant living environment, highlighting the warmth and friendliness of both staff and residents. Positive remarks underline the well-maintained outdoor spaces that provide ample opportunities for residents to enjoy the fresh air and engage in outdoor activities. Several reviewers specifically note the happiness and contentment of the residents, which contributes to a welcoming atmosphere. The efforts to include residents in the community through introductions and activities have been particularly well-received, with one family noting that the experience far exceeded their expectations.

However, there are some areas where feedback suggests room for improvement. Communication and efficiency in addressing repair requests are noted concerns, with some stating that it takes an extended period to resolve maintenance issues. The quality of meals receives mixed reviews; while one mentions that the dining service has declined, with long waits and sometimes cold food, others seem satisfied or note improvements. Inconsistencies in the quality and timeliness of food service indicate this as an area that could benefit from attention. Another noted concern is the feeling that the community does not keep residents sufficiently involved in activities, suggesting a potential area for enhancement in resident engagement.

The affordability of the community and the transition period it appears to be undergoing, including staff turnover under new management, are mentioned as well. Despite this, many reviews echo a sense of satisfaction with the living conditions, the beauty of the premises, and the overall environment. The community is often described as clean, with beautiful grounds, and the staff—though there are suggestions of being understaffed—generally receives compliments on their caring nature.
