Residents and their families say:

This community has garnered a mix of feedback, with numerous positive statements underscoring the high quality of care, comprehensive amenities, and welcoming atmosphere it offers its residents. Many commendations focus on the skilled, kind, and caring nature of the staff, alongside the clean and inviting environment. The availability and variety of activities, coupled with the satisfying meal selections, enhance the residents' daily experiences, making them feel valued and at home. Facilities such as a chapel, movie theater, hair salon, and spacious living accommodations have been highlighted as significant positives, contributing to a fulfilling community life. The inclusion of pets and the accessibility of different areas within the community have also been appreciated, emphasizing the community's efforts to create a comfortable and accommodating environment for all its residents.

However, there have been noteworthy concerns, particularly regarding issues like lighting, signage for first responders, and specific cases where the responsiveness of staff did not meet expectations. Complaints about the handling of refunds and some dissatisfaction with the handling of aggressive behaviors related to dementia were also voiced, reflecting areas that could benefit from improvement. Despite these challenges, many reviews stress the loving care provided, especially in the context of memory support, and commend the extensive renovations that have given parts of the community a luxurious feel. While certain aspects, such as quicker reactions to residents' needs and better communication regarding financial agreements, were suggested for enhancement, the testimonies generally highlight a supportive and affectionate community atmosphere.
