    Friendly staff; motel feel remains

    I toured the brand-new, renovated motel turned senior living community and was blown away by the staff - Holly in particular - who were friendly, bubbly and offered excellent customer service (they deserve a raise). Inside was clean with wide hallways, a large dining area, nice model rooms and patios (rooms still under renovation) and a pool being reconstructed and not open until the new year. They provide brain/memory activities, crafts and entertainment, a monthly calendar, pamphlets and even financial/VA assistance. It still feels a bit motel-like and not very homey - lacking living-room type common spaces and with some landscaping/maintenance issues - so I'd wait until renovations and outdoor work are finished.

    Summary review

    Overall sentiment in these reviews is cautiously positive, with consistently strong praise for the staff and the services they provide, tempered by reservations about the facility’s unfinished state and its converted-motel character. Reviewers repeatedly highlight the helpfulness, friendliness, and professionalism of staff members; Holly is named specifically as an outstanding employee and a standout example of the customer service quality. Staff are described as bubbly, intelligent, and effective at explaining tours and services, and reviewers noted good informational materials and assistance with financial or VA benefits. Several comments indicate staff deserve recognition or higher pay, underscoring high satisfaction with personnel.

    On programming and daily life, reviewers point to a robust activities program that includes crafts, entertainment, brain- and memory-focused activities, and a monthly events calendar. These items are mentioned as strengths that would positively impact residents’ engagement and quality of life. The dining space is described as large, and general indoor cleanliness was called out positively. Model rooms and photos were attractive to reviewers, and outdoor features such as patios and a pool are included on the property, indicating thoughtful amenities are part of the plan.

    However, a major theme across the comments is that the property is not yet fully ready for occupancy. Multiple reviewers mention renovations still in progress, rooms that are not completed despite appealing model pictures, and a pool that is being reconstructed. Several summaries state the community will not be open until the start of the year, and the “renovated motel” origin of the property influences perceptions: some reviewers felt the facility retains a motel-like atmosphere that lacks comfortable, home-like common living rooms and amenities. This conversion/charm issue is tied to concerns about resident comfort and the absence of true living-room-style communal spaces.

    Exterior upkeep and curb appeal also drew critical remarks. Outside maintenance and landscaping were called out as needing attention, which contrasts with favorable comments about interior cleanliness. These exterior issues contribute to the impression that the property is still mid-transition and not fully polished. Reviewers generally liked the wide hallways and spacious dining area, but the external appearance and the incomplete status of rooms and amenities reduced overall confidence for some prospective residents and their families.

    In terms of management and messaging, reviewers appreciated that staff provided pamphlets and explained the tour process; communication appears proactive. The most actionable concerns that emerge from these reviews are completing renovations (especially resident rooms and the pool), improving exterior landscaping and curb appeal, and creating or emphasizing more home-like communal living spaces to counteract the motel feel. Maintaining and rewarding the high-quality staff—highlighted repeatedly as the community’s greatest asset—should also be a priority.

    In summary, the community shows many promising attributes: excellent, service-oriented staff (with Holly repeatedly praised), a strong activities program, attractive model rooms and interior cleanliness, and desirable physical features like wide hallways and a large dining area. The principal drawbacks are the unfinished state of the facility, the motel-derived layout that some find impersonal, the need for exterior maintenance, and pending completion of key amenities such as the pool. If management focuses on finishing renovations, enhancing outdoor landscaping, and adding more home-like communal spaces while preserving and supporting the strong staff culture, the property’s overall appeal would likely increase significantly.

Nutrition's a big part of the care with fine dining for three main meals each day, snacks any time, and flexible 'anytime dining' if you'd rather eat on your own schedule, even if you have specific dietary needs like vegetarian or special meal plans. There's always something to do thanks to a full-time activity director planning educational programs, weekly happy hours, outings to restaurants, museums, shopping, and live entertainment-a movie theater right in the building lets residents catch a film together, and things like a swimming pool, hot tub, outdoor patios and gardens give everyone places to relax outside or take part in fitness activities. There's a strong focus on social connection, so residents have structured programs for meeting people, making friends, and joining in resident appreciation events or spiritual devotional services if that's important. Safety's also a big priority, with features like smoke detectors, sprinkler systems, on-site maintenance, home modifications for seniors, and regular upkeep to make sure everything stays in working order, plus you get weekly housekeeping and daily trash removal so things stay tidy. People have access to free transportation for appointments or outings, and there's a beauty salon and barber shop right on site, so it's easy to stay groomed. Memory care offers specialized training to help staff assist residents with memory challenges, and they design routines and therapies to reduce confusion or wandering, giving residents a sense of stability when they need it most. Programs for fitness, nutrition, and health technology give everyone tools to stay as healthy and active as they're able, and the community aims to foster independence while providing just the right amount of support, with a welcoming, homelike feel in every corner. The quiet, serene setting, along with amenities and conveniences like laundry, climate control, and window treatments in each unit, adds up to a place where seniors can settle in, enjoy meals, company, and entertainment, and feel secure, knowing help's available any time they need it.
