★★★★★
PositiveMy tour was virtual. Katie was extremely welcoming and friendly and answered my questions. The facility is beautiful. I especially like the gardens. I like that they are both on site and offsite quality activities for residence. The menu looks well balanced and dining areas are attractive.
★★★★★
PositiveI love the staff and their attentiveness and care for my mom. I also appreciate feeling like I'm part of the community when I come to visit. I also found that they were the most affordable of the handful of communities we looked at. Lastly it has beautiful landscaping that feels more like a resort. It's a lovely place to be. I will leave off a star because my mom who actually lives there, is not a fan of the food. But she appreciates everything else. However, I should say, the food I have tasted is pretty good.

PositiveVery friendly and kind staff! It is pricey but the most reasonably priced we found at this caliber in the area. I wish my mom took advantage of the activities more but she is encouraged to do so by the friendly staff. Also my mom is very picky and she actually loves the food. Last night they had ribs! My mom has made meal friends and sits at the same table for every meal. It’s nice to be recognized by the staff and other residents. I feel like I am part of this community too!
