    Warm staff, lively community, inconsistent

    I love the warm, professional staff and strong sense of community - activities are plentiful and the place feels clean, bright and homey. Dining is three meals a day and often very good, but food quality is inconsistent (cold/undercooked at times). The building is older, and I've noticed maintenance, elevator and transportation/accessibility problems; there were past management/billing issues that seem to be improving. Overall I'd recommend it for independent seniors who value caring staff and social life, but verify accessibility, meal quality and billing terms first.
