Review for University Pines by Sky Active Living

Everything has been great. I feel welcomed, and the staff is very respectful and works hard. I have all the room I need, given my situation. From [name removed], down, the staff seems to really care. I am not sure I understand the expectations for the weekly room cleanings.

A great place to live

The staff are great. They are always helpful and friendly. The activities leave a lot to be desired.

Review for University Pines by Sky Active Living

It is great here, but not perfect. But neither is anywhere else. I really appreciate the positive staff that help each other out. And help the residents always. They always put the residents first. I'm very comfortable here. After all, it is what you make it

We enjoyed meeting the sales director as well as other staff & residents. It is a nice, clean, pleasant, inviting facility which meets all the needs of an older person wanting to live independently.
