    Clean, friendly staff, missed care

    I'm generally very pleased with this clean, attractive facility - the staff are friendly, attentive and well trained, and the food is excellent (my mom is even eating things she wouldn't before). Assisted living is nice and there are engaging activities like SkipBo and dominos, but activities are limited and schedules can be inconsistent. Staffing is sometimes thin, especially in memory care, which has led to missed baths and not enough caregivers. Overall a positive experience and I would recommend it.

    Summary review

    Overall sentiment across the reviews is positive with recurring praise for staff, cleanliness, dining (in many accounts), and the general atmosphere of the facility. Multiple reviewers emphasize that caregivers are attentive, well trained, and friendly; several comments describe staff as confident, together, and impressive. The facility itself is frequently described as clean and new, and the assisted living portion is specifically noted as being nice. Many reviewers say their family members are happy with the care and would recommend the community.

    Care quality and staffing: Care quality is generally viewed favorably — reviewers mention attentive and capable caregivers and describe receiving "great care". However, a notable and recurring concern is understaffing. Several reviewers explicitly report not enough caregivers on duty, and at least one mentions a missed bath when needed. This points to occasional shortfalls in staffing levels or coverage that can impact timely personal care. The pattern suggests that while staff present are highly regarded for their skill and demeanor, staffing ratios or scheduling may not always meet resident needs.

    Staff, management, and consistency: Staff behavior and competence receive consistent praise (friendly, well-trained, confident), which contributes strongly to positive experiences. At the same time, there are signs of inconsistency in some services — for example, exercise and activity schedules are mentioned as inconsistent, and meal satisfaction varies between reviewers (some call the food "excellent," others say they are not pleased). These mixed reports indicate that while management has achieved many strengths (clean facility, good staff), operational consistency across shifts or between the assisted living and memory care sides may need attention.

    Facilities and environment: The home is repeatedly described as clean and new-looking. Reviewers like the overall appearance and environment, calling it a decent-looking community and a nice facility. The assisted living portion receives particular positive mention, whereas the memory care side is singled out as an area that "needs improving." This suggests a difference in experience depending on which unit a resident occupies; the assisted living environment appears to be meeting expectations more regularly than the memory care unit.

    Dining and activities: Dining is a strong positive for many families — several reviewers say residents "like the food," with some calling it excellent and noting their loved ones are eating foods they hadn’t tried before. At least one reviewer, however, is not pleased with the food, indicating some variability. Activities are available (specific examples given include SkipBo, dominos, and other games), and some residents enjoy these offerings. Still, multiple reviewers ask for more activities, and there are reports of an inconsistent exercise schedule. The memory care side is also noted as having fewer activities, which aligns with comments that memory care needs improvement.

    Notable patterns and recommendations: The dominant themes are strong staff performance and a clean, pleasant facility, balanced against operational challenges — chiefly staffing levels, inconsistent scheduling, and variability between assisted living and memory care. Families who value attentive caregivers and a tidy, newer community are likely to be satisfied, especially in assisted living. To address the most common concerns, the facility would benefit from improving staff coverage to reduce missed personal care events, increasing and standardizing activity and exercise programming (especially in memory care), and working to make dining consistently positive across all shifts and units. Addressing those operational gaps could convert the generally positive impressions into uniformly excellent experiences across all areas of the community.
