We recently visited here looking for a place for me to move to, everyone was very friendly and helpful. The building was clean and nicely decorated and the apartments we toured were clean and seemed to be well maintained. I would recommend you check them out if you are interested in senior living.

After visiting other communities, we feel fortunate that your community currently has a room available on the first floor, located very close to the common areas. We think this would be very convenient for my mother-in-law. Its location would make it much easier for her to leave her room for short walks, participate in activities, and access the cafeteria. We believe this convenient setting would encourage her to remain active, engaged, and socially connected.

Bad: smell of urine down one corridor Y’all are ripping up carpet and putting down laminate so smell shouldn’t’ be a problem in future. Next, found one shower very dirty on end of shower door with hair stuck in in it, gross. Did not have chance to eat so no idea about that. Good: woman who showed us around. She was great. The apartments were nice as well- we got to see two of the 1 bed and 1 studio. We’d go for 1 bedroom. The occupational therapist was very nice and told us about things she/they can help with. We

The staff was gracious friendly and informative. And the visit was pleasant, This facility is not one we would choose at this time because we do not need an independent, assisted, remain in place community at this time. Staff told us the community is in the process of replacing flooring and make other upgrades.

Overall a positive experience

[name removed] was extremely helpful and pleasant to work with. The facilities are clean and bright, and staff are nice and respectful. My brother has a small studio apartment which is perfect for him. He has been there almost a year and seems content. He says the food is good.
