Residents and their families say:

This community has garnered a mix of reactions from visitors and residents alike, with a tilt towards the positive. Many reviewers express admiration for the dedicated and caring staff, the range of activities and amenities available, and the clean, well-maintained facilities that include everything from swimming pools and exercise classes to beautiful gardens and walking trails. The community is praised for its comprehensive care across different stages of living - from independent living to assisted living and skilled nursing, ensuring that residents receive the appropriate level of care as their needs change.

On the downside, several reviews highlight issues related to costs, with some finding the community too expensive. There are also mentions of the food not always meeting expectations and concerns about understaffing, particularly in the assisted living section. Some reviewers experienced logistical problems, such as billing issues after relocating their loved ones, or challenges in transitioning between levels of care due to limited availability in the desired section. Nonetheless, the positive aspects such as the camaraderie among residents, the variety of housing options, and engaging activities do much to enhance the living experience at this community. Complaints regarding specific areas like the condition of the facilities or the quality of the food do not overshadow the overall satisfaction expressed by most reviewers.
