Great senior living facility. Friendly outgoing residents who warmly welcome new residents. Staff are terrific, whether they're at the front desk, management, servers, or maintenance. Great resident involvement in community. Love it here

My mom could not be happier

This is the perfect place for my mom. Close to everything. Good food and very nice apartment and amenities. Residents are very friendly.

my 6 month experience was mixed

Staff turnover is discouragingly high. Food is tasty but not really healthy. Daily activities tend to be organized and run by residents not staff. I experienced serious billing errors. Residents are friendly and welcoming. Facility is attractive throughout.
