We visited Piper Shores and toured for independent living. That was quite an incredible place out there.

Piper Shores is very clean and very beautiful. It is probably just too expensive for us. We checked out the apartment as well as the cottages. It is very nice, and the space is just right. The staff was very friendly and warm.
