Highly Recommended

reviewed on: 04/19/2021 by Laura

I would tell others the community was wonderful. I like the personal touches the community did for the residents and families. It was a smaller community all on one level. I wouldn't change anything about the community.

A family Community!!

My mother is doing very well here the staff is wonderful. She participates in some of the activities they offer. It is very clean and kept. My mother likes the food she wished there was more variety to choose. I would recommend to family and friends.

Keeps Very Busy

reviewed on: 09/07/2017 by Anonymous

Mom is doing okay since moving here it has been a big adjustment but she is settling in. She is keeping busy with all the activities the community has which is good for her. The food is good no complaints. The staff, for the most part, has been very good. They are extremely nice and patient, however, we have had to tell them not to ask what my mother wants as far as housekeeping and bed linens to be done and just to do them. Mom has more of apartment living which is nice because she was able to bring some of her personal belonging with her.

a great solution for our family

reviewed on: 03/04/2021 by TN

The communication between the family and the staff is good, they provide the covid updates and they are very responsive. The only issue is the food my mom does not like food. I would recommend this community to others

As close to home as possible!

We were really impressed with how fast things moved in the beginning, and you can furnish you r room with your own stuff. We felt like that was very comforting for our loved one. We would recommend this community to other.
