Residents and their families say:

This community receives high praise for its attentive and compassionate care, cleanliness, and the wide range of activities available for residents. Reviewers have shared heartfelt stories about the positive impact the community has had on their loved ones, particularly those in need of memory care. Families noted the staff's dedication to treating residents with dignity and respect, even as challenges arise from dementia and other health-related issues. The engaging social environment and personalized attention to individual residents' needs are frequently highlighted, demonstrating a commitment to ensuring a high quality of life within the community. The variety of services, from medication management to rehabilitation, and the physical environment of the community itself, including clean, odor-free facilities and renovated rooms, have also been commended.

However, some families have experienced difficulties, including issues with staff turnover, management changes, and occasional lapses in services such as timely medication refilling due to staffing shortages. Concerns were raised about the food quality not always meeting expectations, and some logistical and accessibility challenges were mentioned, such as problems with call buttons and a lack of handicap-accessible doors. Despite these issues, the overwhelming majority of feedback remains positive, with many expressing gratitude for the community's role in their loved ones' lives. The community has been recommended by several reviewers for its comprehensive care, friendly atmosphere, and its overall effort to improve residents' well-being.
