We thought this facility was lovely! We noticed the cleanliness and overall organization of the facility. We loved the dining routine, the pool, the garden area for residents, and the happy and engaged residents.

Friendly staff

The staff is great and really engages with everyone positively. There are many daily activities to choose from. The dining room is ok, there are amazing staff who work in the dining room and others who are just ok ( and maybe could do better with additional training) . The food is ok, most people seem to like ordering custom requests to make the most of their options. The leadership team is responsive and has make time to meet with me when requested.

Great Small town Hotel

They were very helpful and it's really a wonderful facility. It was a good experience altogether. I would recommend this place to others. The location is great! And the management and facilities are wonderful!

Critical

The nutrition and exercise program were outstanding. The rooms were small and dull. The entry halls were quite noisy.

The residents clearly had a genuine appreciation of each other. They were happy with the activities, their apartments, the food, the caregivers, and the location. The common spaces are brightly lit and enthusiastically occupied.
