We visited. The experience was very good. Our tour guide was outstanding. She provided us with a lot of information, answered all our questions, and gave us additional information we didn't necessarily think to ask. I felt that she was very dedicated to the facility. She represented it well. There's a pool, an exercise room, and free spaces where people can gather in and sit and talk or play cards. There's a large community-type room where they have theater performances put on by them. We stayed for a meal. It was lunch and the food was outstanding.

We toured. I liked best that it was bright, clean and spacious. The staff was open, friendly, and knowledgeable. They offered everything. We saw a dining area and several apartments. It's a huge place. The unit's size was spacious, very clean, and bright. In terms of location, it's near hospitals.

My mom moved in. I love the room they got for her and the layout of the whole place. Everybody is very friendly and very nice. I also like the convenience of getting there. Everybody I've talked to so far has been great. The food was good. My mom has done a few activities, but I haven't talked to her since she's done them. There's a refrigerator and a microwave in the apartment. They have a swimming pool.

The rooms are spacious and up to date. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. We love the wine and cheese parties and the activities that are scheduled. The facility has a full gym and heated outdoor pool. They offer two meals per day and the food is delicious. We frequently eat with my mother. The staff is very accommodating and provides excellent service. The staff is very good and my mother is happy and the other residents are very friendly and make you feel like you are family.

It seemed to have everything that we were looking for. We have visited several times and probably we'll go back some more. It made my wife feel better that they had everything available. I had two that were assisting us, and they were excellent. They answered all our questions, and if they couldn't, they went and found the answer. Hopefully they will become friends. They were very knowledgeable, and you could speak to them, and ask anything you wanted to. The food was good. I'm sure they have to cook for many, and special needs, and what have you, but it was very good. They had the pool, the fitness center, just everything was there. The rooms were very nice and spacious. They seemed to have a lot of activities, and that's what we were looking for. They had good security there, and they had the medical stuff, and the washer and dryer was in the room, which we wanted. Everything was available.

It was lovely and much bigger than others, and they had a private screened-in outdoor space. They had covered parking, a marvelous community center, lots of clubs, beautiful views, places to walk around, beautiful heated pool, and lots of activities. The staff was so friendly, go out of their way to show you around, and they're very helpful. The food was marvelous, and their chef had lots of awards. It's a beautiful facility with wonderful people, and the guards were nice.

It is very nice. The staff is excellent. The apartments had a variety of layouts and majority of them had some kind of a nice view. They all had washers and dryers in the units. The dining room looked like a dining room in a hotel. They had a nice movie theater, large fully-equipped exercise room, and a nice outdoor heated pool.

It is a wonderful place to live. It is a community with three buildings: assisted living and memory, independent living, and activities, which is good. It has awesome activities. We have a great, heated swimming pool. The apartments are big and very well situated. The best thing about the apartments compared to what I have seen is the size and the facilities. I have been here for seven years now, and it's a good place. The food is excellent, and the staff is great.

My mother is here. It is very nice. She has a fairly large apartment, and it seems pleasant enough. She says the food is good; she gets breakfast and dinner. They have a bus that takes the residents places they can sign up for, church services for Catholics on Thursdays, bus transportation on Sundays, bridge club, crossword puzzle club, and crafts club.

What we saw was very nice. We did not choose this one because it was multi-level. I thought it would be difficult for my parents to go up and down the elevator and, at the time we went there, they did not have a one-bedroom apartment available. They only had studios available, and that was too small. The dining room was clean and bright. They had a whole lot of things listed including a pool with lots of activities and a library; there were a lot of things. We really did like it, but they didn't have what we needed at that time and, being multi-level, we didn't want the elevator problem. It's a very new facility.

My parents moved in. It was close to where they lived, they were satisfied with what they saw, and they were able to keep their dog. They have two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a living room. They have all kinds of things going on. They have dance groups coming in, music, ice cream socials, and outdoor activities.

I visited this facility

It had several levels, and the gym was not in the building with the rooms. It was clean, very nice, and it was recommended by my friend’s psychologist. The staff was very nice, and they invited us for barbeque. His room would have been on the third floor, and he would have to wait by the elevator to eat on the second floor. He falls all the time and he can’t stand up, so to me that would have been terrible. They need a dining room on every floor so the tenants don’t have to wait by the elevator.
