    Resident praises staff, activities, amenities

    I've lived here for several years and had a very positive experience. The staff are exceptional-attentive, friendly, and always helpful; the dining area and kitchen are convenient and the entry is accessible. Activities are plentiful (resident-driven theater and field trips, picnics, pool table, piano, theater room, big library, and comfortable lounges), so I'd definitely recommend this community.
