Things to know

I wasn’t ready for senior living, as I am still very independent, so that may have influenced some of my experience. That said, I found the residents to be very friendly and welcoming. Dining Dining was one of my biggest concerns. There were frequent issues with meal times and long waits to be served. The dining room was often cold, and some of the food was served very hot while desserts were extremely sweet. Soup was only offered at lunch, and the alternate menu was rarely expanded beyond the same few choices, s…

Amazing place for mom!

Overall, I'm happy that my mom is here because she needs the safety, security, regular meals, and medication management that the community provides.

Unaffordable for many people

1. I cannot afford any of these places. Even w long term care insurance because you are charged for the services. 2. It was welcoming, consistently by the residents Staff was more welcoming before you signed on. Then they moved on to new potential customers. 3. Meal plans and food was pretty negative. Not much catering to dietary needs like sweet and gluten, not enough on alternate menu No flexibility in cost if you eat only one meal a day. Also breakfast too early. Lunch is late and dinner too early 4. The re…
