My parents are doing very well in this community, they love their apartment. It was actually the deciding factor, my parents were looking for a spacious 2 bedroom 2 bath.

A positive experience!

From the minute we walked in, the residents have been so friendly to my mother. Her apartment is very nice and she likes it a lot. One of the outstanding things is the food. It is so good, they have 4 choices every meal and all of the choices are very tasty. She has just recently joined activities, she started playing some of the games. When she first moved in, she was sick and they brought the meals to her apartment and were very concerned about making it as easy as possible for her.

Mom Is Doing Wonderful and Enjoying Activities

My mom likes it her new community. In the beginning she was no transitioning well but the staff went over backwards to get her comfortable.[Removed], the manager is fantastic she treats everyone great. For the money, they were the best option and provide a beautiful, clean and wonderful facility. She is swimming, joining activities and doing things she has not done in years. When I call her she always tell she can't talk because she is about to do something. For the meals, she says it's boring and not great quality. She wishes she had something different because the menu is like her prior community.

Very Clean Place!!

My mother and I would defiantly recommend this community to a friend because the place is very nice and well maintained. The community provides housekeeping once a week. They also provide 3 meals a day, and they are well balanced, taste good, and provide a variety of options. The room my mother is in is very comfortable and she has her own balcony. The only thing I wish they would change is I wish they would have the option to take the meals up to the resident's bedrooms.

A Good Fit For My Husband

My husband is doing great here at this community. So far everything is working out well, and we are satisfied. This is a well maintained community. They do a good job with the cleanliness. The staff has been very kind and friendly. He is still able to maintain his independent, but has access to help if he needs it. There are activities available for the residents. I will say they could more of a variety of foods to choose from. Overall I know he is safe, and this is a community I would recommend.
