I have found the facility to have a very nice environment - spaces to play games, puzzles, or read a book. A nice dining room, library. Caring staff. Some months the activity schedule is lacking but they do a lot of fun things - trips to restaurants, theater. Have nice events at facility - bingo, happy hours, lots of music, talks on different topics.

PositiveOverall, my parents are happy to be there and speak highly of the staff.
I CANNOT IMAGINE A STAFF BEING ANYWHERE NEAR AS CARING, CREATIVE, FRIENDLY, AND CONCERNED FOR THE WELL BEING OF US RESIDENTS. The apartments are offered in variety of sizes and layouts. They are clean, in nice shape, and have good natural light. However, the bedrooms are tiny and "full" kitchens have no dishwashers or garbage disposals and have older electric stoves. Some of the more disappointing aspects of this place involve the food and food service (both are decent but inconsistent) and the shuttle bus (old a…
