I'm grateful for the compassionate, hands-on staff, clean/remodeled rooms, easy move-in, steady communication, and the way my loved one settled in and made friends - the caregivers truly went above and beyond. That said, the community is small and pricey, activities can be limited for less-mobile residents, and some promised services (one-to-one nursing, reliable night assistance) were inconsistent. Administration and billing/contract communication were sometimes confusing, especially after management changes. I'd recommend this place if you can afford it and prioritize warm, attentive frontline care - just confirm staffing, night coverage, and contract details first.
