Wonderful

Very friendly staff, most of which have been working at the facility for more than five years. They got to know my mom on day one and checked on her frequently her first few days there to make sure she was adjusting OK. They definitely go above and beyond my expectations.

Walking into the facility I was greeted by a friendly face and a sign with my name on it! I was joined by [removed name] who guided me to a room where we could talk and get to know each other. He is a very friendly and nice person, and I enjoyed talking to him and getting to know more about the facility. [removed name] joined us soon after and it was nice to put a face to the friendly voice on the phone. We had lunch and I was introduced to several people who worked there. They were all very friendly and said it

Lovely personal attention

We are very happy with our choice. The staff from housekeeping, waiters and waitresses, maintenance to the senior staff are all very kind and accommodating. The other residents are warm, friendly and welcoming to the newer residents.

A great place for my mom and brother

The food is sufficiently varied and of high quality. They offer numerous planned activities and provide great spaces for impromptu games for the residents. The staff is all exceptionally nice and seem to genuinely care about the residents

5 for all. Food may be a 4, otherwise it was fantastic. The staff was supportive and patient in answering my questions, or when I needed an input on something
