Overall would recommend

my mother-in-law loves her apartment. She has a large covered and uncovered deck with access from the living room and bedroom. She loves being able to see the activity on the street and regularly uses the PT, OT, hair/nail salon, and movie theater opportunities. She has the space and equipment to make most of her own meals and be very independent. Her room size is just under 600 ft.², I believe, and is a comfortable space Yvonne and Evan at the front desk are amazing, as is Mike the driver! They recently remodeled

Happy with our choice

Overall, my mother-in-law really enjoys living there. She likes the location, which allows her a sidewalk with activity just to people watch or sidewalks for walking. The staff is very pleasant and fun. They offer a wide range of activities. She likes the food, and typically picks it up to go. She has experienced some longer than stated wait times and sometimes does not get what she has ordered, so the dining experience could be improved a bit. Overall, she is very happy living there and we are happy with how she i

Sense of community

When my parents took a tour, they were impressed by the beautiful community spaces, relaxed atmosphere and friendly greetings from staff and residents, and the spacious apartments. They decided to move in, one month later. They appreciate the walkable neighborhood, anytime dining, onsite fitness center and health services, and the variety of social activities. They appreciate their quiet apartment with a private porch. They also feel a sense of community.

Incredibly Accommodating

Incredibly accommodating. They look out for my loved one and care about them. They also do the little things that help me as well like taking any deliveries of groceries or meals from DoorDash up to their apartment for my loved one.
