The lengths that the staff goes to ensure safety of the residents, and their quality of life is heartwarming. All the staff that I have interacted with are welcoming and appear to genuinely love their job. My mom has never had anything negative to say about anything or anyone.

My parents moved into here. They really like it there. My mom likes the trail, and she likes to walk in the building. The staff is extremely nice and helpful, and they're always visiting with them and helping them out. The food is pretty good, and it's a nice place, close to everything, and also close to us. The staff members who help the people with food, and the maintenance people have very exceptional service. My parents seem to be very happy there. My mom has gone to the Sunday services, they have a couple of exercise things upstairs, and they have both used the treadmill and liked it. It's a newer facility, and the location is nice.

It was a beautiful place. The whole place was very mellow. We talked to the residents, and they all seemed to like it. However, they didn't take Medicaid. The food was very good, especially for an institution. They offer rides to wherever you need to go, they help with the pills, and you got a security button that contacts them when you're outside or when you fall. The staff members were helpful, courteous, kind, and patient. They even got me a wheelchair to wheel me down. They have private apartments there.

It was very good, the facilities were very nice, they were pretty and clean. The atmosphere was excellent, people were having a nice time, and the rooms were nice. The staff was very nice and pleasant. The dining area looked okay and spacious. They had a game they were all playing together, they had teams, and they had T-shirts. The residents liked it a lot and they were having a great time. So, I think the activities are A1.

We chose it because it was close by and had a very friendly atmosphere. I would definitely recommend them because of the staff. The food is very good, and my father has not had complaints about it at all.

It looked really homey and inviting. The whole place was wonderful. The staff was wonderful. He was very welcoming, very well-informed, cooperative, and just over the top; he was great. They had a library, a bus service, a lot of community activities within the building, trips outside the building, and arts and crafts. It was really nice, and I really liked it. They were very clean, too.

The only things you could get out of a studio apartment were a bed, a chair, and a TV. It was like living in a motel room which I'm not exactly crazy about doing. The grounds are OK, nothing special. The food was OK -- nothing to write home about -- but they offer 3 meals a day.

I am living here and I am happy with it. I haven't had any big disappointments. Everything is as they said it was. I am younger, and this is independent living, so I just didn't expect so many older grey-haired people around, but they're all very nice. I am okay. I participate in Beanbag baseball. I actually got sucked into it, I went out the door and when I came back in, they said "Hey come over here, we need you!" and so it's been like that ever since. It helps me. They have bus trips to different places but I don't go on those. I did one time but that's because we went to the main company there, the corporate offices, and we were playing against them in the Beanbag baseball so rode up there together. They have all different things set up here. For the food, you can tell that their sous-chef is trying to put out food that you would serve at a regular restaurant. It wasn't satisfying, it was weird. It was like coconut-butternut-squash soup and other weird stuff like chicken breast with pesto sauce that you would see more in a culinary school. I just found out that you can order hamburgers so that'll be much better instead of restaurant-style. That was my only complaint; the food. The reason I took this place is because I got a downstairs wherein I face the forest, and I can go out to my patio and there are trails right there so my view is really nice. If I hadn't gotten this downstairs room, I would have looked elsewhere. This is the best option for me. The laundry is free of charge. You have housekeeping, the come in and they vacuum, change your sheets and give you towels, and that made a big difference.

The staff was very nice. The rooms were very nice and I like the size. The dining room looked pleasant.

Randy21

We visited and it is very nice and very pleasant. They had very cordial people there. It was very pretty. The apartments were small but clean. The dining room had round circular tables. It was very light and airy. It is very clean and very open. I could not remember, but they had a lot of activities. My wife really liked it.

Elizabeth48

It was very nice, but once again they had no room and they will put you on a waiting list. What really impressed me was probably how clean it was; there weren’t smells. They had a dining area, and they had waiters and waitresses; it was really nice. They have little rooms for all kinds of gatherings.

It was inviting and very nice. The staff seemed to be very accommodating and very friendly. They invited us to join them to have lunch in the dining room. There was a couple at another table who were so accommodating, we wondered if they were on staff. The food was good.

I saw the best cottage that happens to be available here when I visited the facility, but currently, it won't work for me. It has two bedrooms, two bathrooms, living room, a very large kitchen and a dining area. It's on ground level and it has an area that I can fence off for my dog. They do have their own restaurant in the main building. I was able to try the food and it was good. The staff were very excellent. The facility is very clean.

The food was excellent. The people who live there were very friendly and outgoing and made me very welcome, as did the managers. I felt very comfortable there. I particularly liked the cottages, mostly because they have a small washer and dryer on the inside, and because I need someplace where the grass comes up very near the house because I have a service dog that has to go with me to every place. So my biggest concern is her, that she'll be happy there. They had a beauty shop there, which was very convenient. They play a lot of games during the day, and they play card games, and they were all interested in those. Also, it's very important to me that it's in an area that has shopping mall very nearby. So just about anything you wanted you could go to without too much trouble. They had a very friendly driver who takes you to wherever you need to go, and he went out of his way to be very polite. And my dog was allowed to go in the bus when we went places. That was important to me.

It was a nice facility and I liked it. The staff appeared to be nice and they also had a bus that took them to stores. I would recommend them to others.

Sharon21

The staff working was very warm and the people living there liked them. They offered to take them on trips and they have lot of activities for them. The place was beautiful. I would want to live there when I get older.
