We have been here two & half years now, we are a great family trying to help out whoever is in need of . We were looking for a retirement community & visited quite a few around. But loved this one the most . We were on the waiting list , [name removed] was very helpful sending me emails about the openings & we got the unit of our choice . It is a very quiet place, loving & caring people, office staff & maintenance crew.everyone gets along . Our monthly calendar is full of activities, thanks to our activity direc

Perfect place at the perfect time.

I have never felt a more loving community. When my husband and I moved in we were welcomed with open arms, everyone was so kind. We had the support we needed and then months later, when my husband passed, I received so much love and help from everyone. If you are you are looking for a community, I couldn't recommend a more wonderful and loving group of people, both staff and residents.

Highly recommended independent living community!

We chose Lifestream because we were so impressed with the community and staff. Location is convenient as well. The facility is AMAZING. Staff is incredibly caring and take amazing care of the facility and their residents. They offer weekly outings, on site activities and overall the community has a 'family' feeling. No negative issues whatsoever! Also... no one seems burned out! All the staff I've interacted with seem 'present'. All the staff truly care about their residents and it shows. Even the handyman who add

I haven't seen Mom this happy in years!

Truly we couldn't be happier. My mom loves it there! Staff are passionate about what they do and it shows in both the facility and how they treat their residents. They go above and beyond what we imagined. The grounds are immaculate, the 'units' are really patio homes, with a carport, back gate etc. the activities they have keep their residents as busy as they choose! We are just so happy with LifesStream.

Mom is settling in

This community is a good fit for my mom, The only downfall I'd say is I wish the staff would remind mom she can do the little things for herself. They do engage her in the daily activities which is positive. She is making friends they provide lunch only so she will come to lunch to socialize. She seems to like the food it is a big portion. She has a monthly cleaning services that come in and clean her 2bdrm 2 bath apartment. If she needs additional services it is a reasonable price.
