★★★★★
PositiveThe location was ideal since it's midway between me and my family. It the only facility we found to offer an independent living option, as well as assisted living and memory care
★★★★★
CriticalThere are not enough staff to look after the residents in memory care. Staff is overworked so they don't seem an sympathetic to the needs of the patients.

PositiveWe really liked this community when we visited. It was clean and the person that took us on tour was sweet. They offer a pool and they have a spanish style courtyard. This community would have been our first choice, however they did not have any rooms available.

I have heard from one of our doctors and they said it's a good place. They didn't have any vacancy so we just moved on to the next option.
