Food bad, promises made prior to move-in weren't true. There is a charge for everything. My apartment is large and beautiful.

Beautiful facility. Residents seemed very happy and the staff were a comfort to me. They listened to my concerns and explained everything to my satisfaction. The menu options were catered to the residents which I thought was a wonderful idea.

I did not like the setting of this facility. It was in a very remote area,roads unmarked and where the people lived, was ununmarked and very difficult to find. The units themselves were very small and unpleasant. They have an option to have a two bedroom but have to open a wall between two units, you have to pay rent for two units which is unfair and you have no choice in the layout of the two bedroom units. Personally would not put my husband in this place.there is no balcony in any units shown.

Need improvements before I would recommend

The very first thing and impression I had about the community was the enthusiasm and openness of your sales coordinator, [name removed]. He always answered my calls, questions and concerns right away. He always took whatever time was needed to be there when I called. On the Face Time tour every thing looked friendly, clean and happy. Since then, I have learned that there are problems with the room not being really ready for someone to move into. Problems with the heating/air conditioning, shower working properly a
