It was terrific. The staff was courteous and professional. The facilities and the atmosphere were excellent. If we were considering a facility, that would be at the top of our list. We visited the assisted living and skilled nursing facilities.

I am/was a resident of this facility
We stayed for a month-and-a-half. However, it was not for us because it was very expensive. The staff members were very nice. The rooms were adequate but they were not very large. The food was adequate, too. The community was very nice and comfortable. However, we didn't want to stay there indefinitely because it wasn't for us.

I visited, but they didn't have any openings. They had a place for people to come back from the hospital before they were able to go back to their own unit, and I thought that was very helpful. It's very nice and older but had a comfortable feeling. It seemed like the people had a lot of opportunities for interaction, and that's a good thing. They're busy during the day doing things. There were a lot of staff members in the areas where people were doing things.

I visited here. The primary person we had the appointment with had an emergency came up, so we had a person that really didn’t know all the details. But they did follow up with us on the phone. They showed us one small room. Their common areas from what I saw were adequate. They have activities, but I did not pay enough attention. It was very clean and I am sure that people enjoyed staying there, but it was not our type of facility.

My parents are here. The place is beautiful and felt like home. Everyone is very friendly and helpful. Their room looks brand new and beautiful. My mother-in-law likes going to plays as well as art classes. They also have computer classes and music time where professionals come to play. They are enjoying it. Their dining area is very nice and large. The food is very good. They have a couple of different things to do every night.

I visited and It was a nice place. The rooms were fine. I know they have bingo because that was what I was looking to do.

We had a very short visit, probably an hour, and everybody treated us fine and showed us around. The rooms were adequate. We saw the library, the dining room, and some of the rooms. I would rate them a five.

I have lived in here for three weeks, and I’m very pleased. It is centrally located between my two sons. The staff is fine, always going the extra mile, and it’s working out well for me. I’m in a studio room at the moment, but I’ll move into a one-bedroom in a week and a half. The menu is good, but it doesn’t have a lot of fresh food. There are a lot of activities throughout the day. We have exercise class every morning and afternoon, and, yesterday, I took a painting class. They have live music some afternoons, and groups of people go to the movies.

It was very nice, but the rooms were small. The one room that would have accommodated her was overlooking the back parking lot -- which was where all the service vehicles and the laundry get in. She really didn’t have a view, she had no way to get outside, and there was no patio or balcony. The room was comfortable as opposed to what she is getting from the other facility, but it was smaller but very nice and nicely decorated. People were very pleasant, the staff is very professional, and the gal who took us around was very sweet.

It was closer, but it seemed much bigger. The apartments are spacious and clean. The staff accommodated me. The dining room was well decorated and very good. They had a musical concert going on when I visited. The place is secure enough.

It was very nice. I didn’t have a bad thing to say there but it didn’t have the accommodation that I wanted. They have smaller rooms. The food is very good and I was impressed. The menu was varied and food was presented very nicely.

I went to here and I loved that place. The rooms were fabulous. The staff were very nice. It is highly recommendable for what the community offers to residents. It covers a lot in terms of having a primary care physician that comes on site. The grounds are beautiful and it is super close to a lovely shopping center and maybe a half a mile away from a beach view. It doesn't get any better than that.

My grandma was a resident at this facility. She lived in her own small studio apartment within the residence at large. The people who worked there were very nice and I never had a poor experience with the staff (which went against my stereotypes of assisted living homes). They would take residents on trips out into the community, such as going shopping, visiting tourist attractions, going out to lunches, going to the casino, and so forth. I also found that the residents were pretty friendly as well. There was one woman in particular who lived in the semi-independent living area like where my grandma was while her husband lived in a different wing for dementia patients. I thought it was nice they were able to accommodate both of them so that they could be near each other. I know my family felt more at ease knowing that if something were to happen to my grandma there were people available nearby to help her. They weren't overbearing though, which meant she was able to have some freedom even though she couldn't live at home anymore.

We chose it for my husband. I liked it. I thought it was very homey, and the people seemed very caring and capable. I liked the fact that it was one floor for memory care. It was not like a hotel or a high-class thing.

My mother has dementia and has been in here for a while. She will soon be moved to a Hospice very soon. It is beautiful and very clean. There is food 24/7. The staff is very respectful to the residents and their guests. I would recommend this center to anyone!
