Great community

The internet is very good in my room. I think the main asset is the staff! They have welcomed me and made my transition into this new chapter a little bit easier. It was tough for me at first. One other thing are the residents themselves here. They have been so nice! That helped too.

The facility is very nice inside; bright, clean, and nicely decorated . There are several nice common areas, the dining room is spacious with lots of natural light. I liked the one bedroom and efficiency floor plans, both had nice balconies or access to a small patio. I think this would be a nice place to live.

Critical

My husband and I had toured this community several times over the last couple years for our dad and really loved the staff. We came back in Dec and were really disappointed. Upon arrival we couldn't locate any staff. When the director came out of the office we asked for [name removed] or [name removed] and were told they didnt work there any longer. We felt rushed like we were bothering him. It seems like all the great people that made us feel so at home are gone.
