    Warm attentive staff, comfortable home

    I placed my mom here and have been very pleased - the staff are warm, attentive and go above and beyond, nursing/PT/dining services are excellent, and the bright, spacious apartments and active calendar make it feel safe and home-like. Move-in and ongoing communication were smooth; housekeeping, maintenance and transportation are reliable. Downsides: it's on the pricier side, outdoor walking space is limited and there's no on-site memory care; a few reviewers noted repetitive food and occasional staff working-condition concerns. Overall, highly recommend for quality, caring senior living.
