I toured and immediately felt welcome - the staff are warm, caring and treat residents like family. The place is clean, comfortable and safe (call fobs, regular nurse checks), with good meals and lots of activities and outings. Apartments are bright with balconies and nice outdoor space, though some rooms are small and the building is older despite updates. Memory care and assisted living are available, but it's not ideal for very advanced physical needs and pricing/add-ons can be high; overall I felt confident placing my parent here.
