“Management is very attentive when I have questions or something needs to be taken care of in my mother's apartment. She seems to like the food. The activities are very entertaining and very well put together, and I've enjoyed them when I've gone. Her laundry is taken care of, and maintenance comes promptly. The caregivers are excellent and take very good care of my mother. I feel she is safe and comfortable here, and I have recommended someone there.”

“From the time I first walked in to getting my mom signed up, everything went so smoothly. Management runs a tight ship and is always available; whenever we have issues, they get on it as soon as possible. The activity team is always doing something and puts a lot of effort into pleasing different personalities. Maintenance makes sure things get done in a timely manner, and they keep the outside nice and clean. My mom actually loves it, and I've been recommending it to so many people.”
“All I can say is I like it, and I want to stay here. Management has everything organized and takes care of everything we need. I love the food, and the service is just like eating out at a restaurant. I go to the exercise room, and I like getting my nails and hair done. We had a modeling show, and I was in it. I love my nurse; she's right on top of my appointments. It's a good value because they do a lot here, and I love my apartment.”
“Management answered all of our questions, even when it didn't seem like we might choose them, and they were very supportive in engaging with my mother. They've been helpful ever since. My mother loves the food, which was a big concern for us. She's gone on a field trip, watched movies and done trivia. Maintenance made sure I had an elevator and a cart when she moved in, and the nurses and caregivers have been very helpful and attentive. I've already recommended it to someone.”
“They treat residents very nicely, and over time they got to know me by face. Whenever I have a question, I know exactly who to go to. They have bingo games and even a Christmas program, and I had a good time at the activities I went to. The housekeeper keeps the room perfect, and the laundry comes back already folded. Outside it's a clean, nice environment where residents sit in the shade and listen to music. I got to like the place. I'm only 58, and I'm going to recommend it to myself.”
“The management is incredibly professional and efficient, making the transition smooth for my loved one. The dining options are excellent, with meals served like a restaurant, and the amenities are top-notch, including a gym and activities that keeps everyone engaged. Overall, I feel that the community provides great value and a safe, comfortable environment. I would highly recommend this place to others.”
“The management is very attentive, always keeping me updated about her well-being. The food is quite tasty, and my aunt enjoys the meals. The activities they offer are fantastic, keeping her engaged and happy. The staff is friendly, and the place is well-maintained. Overall, I feel she is safe and comfortable here. I highly recommend this community to other people!”
“The management team is incredibly professional and responsive, always ready to help. The food is delicious, and my loved one can't stop raving about it. There's a fantastic variety of activities, ensuring there's something for everyone. The housekeeping staff is attentive, keeping everything neat and tidy. Overall, it's a warm and welcoming place that I highly recommend!”
“The place is always clean, and the staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming. From the moment I walked in, I felt a positive vibe. The management is accessible and responsive, making it easy to get help when needed. I love the activities they offer, and the overall atmosphere is just wonderful. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a supportive community.”
“Management were very hospitable, very informative, very supportive, and they made the transition from the independent living to the assisted living as easy as it could be. They were very supportive and welcoming. They are doing a stellar job and continue doing the same stellar job that they've been doing. I have nothing but accolades for the whole entire experience. The staff from the executives to the maintenance they are all part of a team and they all work collectively as a team. It is one of the best experiences I've ever had.”
“Mom stayed at this community and I recommend it every time I know of someone looking to place their loved one. Management was very involved with the staff and everyone knew mom. She enjoyed her breakfasts, lunches and dinners. They always had activities going on for the residents and she helped with bingo when she first got there. Mom's unit was always kept clean and her clothes were always done nice. Maintenance staff was always on the job right away and you didn't have to wait. The CNAs were trained and the nurses were good with her, and they all loved her. She felt safe and comfortable there.”
“They are doing a great job and I'm glad my mom is there. I'm glad I connected with this community. I've come to several events and I drop in on my mother on occasion during lunch or dinner and they have fully prepared meals. The meals are not bland or hospital type, they are tasty. The chef comes out and communicates with the residents. My mother commented one time she wanted something added to the menu and he added it to the menu for her. Also, just wanted to note, I can barely get in touch with my mom during the daytime I have to wait until after 8pm because she's always busy with activities! They go over and above and I would recommend this community to others.”
“The management is great at this community. They were extremely helpful when we were doing the tour and they explained stuff and how everything worked. The care givers have also been extremely helpful. When my mom first moved in, they introduced themselves to my mom and myself and my sister. They gave us direct lines to reach them and business cards. My mom loves the care givers and she always says how much she likes them and that they are her friends. In regards to the food, one of the things that I was happy about was the menu because she is so picky. They have a main course and then they have 20 other things that you can pick from if you don't like the main course and that is for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The activities are great and they have something special going on very frequently. Right before my mom moved in, they had a luau for the Summer and they are going to have a Fall activity. With regards to the housekeeping and laundry, all of her stuff is always clean and her apartment is always clean. The maintenance staff were extremely helpful when we moved in. They reserved the elevator for us and they showed us where to go and they gave us their name and introduced themselves. They gave us their work number in case we needed to reach them. The building is very clean as well. The price is very fair and my mom is absolutely safe and comfortable. That is one of the reasons we wanted to move her because we didn't feel she was safe where she lived before. I already recommended this community to others.”
“I've noticed an active maintenance staff and the facilities and grounds are well maintained and clean. There doesn't seem to be any problems with things not working. When I go to his place it's clean and well kept up. I think it's all been productive and positive.”
“My aunt is so happy at this community, that is the first place she wanted to go to! She feels very safe and the care staff is very good. In regards to the dining, she is a vegetarian and other places would not assist her with the food but she is getting more of what she wants at this place. She is able to get fruit and vegetables and salads. She is very happy with the dining experience. Overall, every time she needs something they are always there and they will even do extra when she needs it. My aunt is very happy there.”
“This community has a very welcoming, comfortable and clean environment. During the move in, the management were very helpful to me throughout the entire process. They were very knowledgeable and since my father has moved in they are always accessible and responsive. In regards to the healthcare staff, I always see them moving around and doing what is necessary for them to take care of the residents in that community. My father has told me that the food is really good. He says that there is a nice variety on the menu and the things that are available are things that he liked.As far as the activity department, I always see activities taking place and there is a calendar. It always seems like the residents are having a good time and they are being entertained. With the housekeeping and maintenance, the staff seem to be very on top of making sure things are on point and my dad has said that if he is having any issues he can just call maintenance and they are always available to him. I would definitely recommend this community to others.”
“The nurses and the aides are good and very attentive. They give my dad his meds when they are supposed to. My dad doesn't need a lot but they are good and they check on him a lot. I appreciate that. Also, my dad likes the food and the service in the dining room is very good and there is always an activity going on for the residents. The housekeepers do the proper cleaning when they are supposed to and whenever there is an issue with something in the apartment the maintenance man takes care of it. The building and the common areas of the building always is clean and smells good. So, I would definitely recommend this community to others.”
“My mom is safe and comfortable at this community. The staff learn the patients quickly, and they're very, very nice. The management's response time is excellent. They always get right back to you and address any concerns. In terms of dining, I've noticed that they have a wide selection of meals, and there is also a nice variety of activities. Everything looks nice inside and outside of the building. Overall, the care staff is very attentive, and I would be very likely to recommend this community to others.”
“The staff was very accommodating and very helpful when we visited. When I met the director, she was also very accommodating. She made it seem as though she had all the time in the world, and she made us feel as though we were very important. It's important to make people feel good about you being able to meet with them, and she did that. There is a good variety on the menu in the dining department, and, in terms of activities, my mom gets to pick whatever activities she wants to participate in. The housekeepers come in and take care of her in terms of what she needs. Also, I have never had any problems with the trash being left. My mother's nurse is very attentive. If I have a question, she is there to answer it. I have seen them check on her several times. I would be very likely to recommend this community to others.”
“I recently moved into the community and I'd recommend it to other people. The services and accommodations are satisfactory, and the price is fair. We have good activities offered and management does a good job. I'm satisfied with my housekeeping, and maintenance staff helped me move furniture. The healthcare staff is respectful, knowledgeable and accessible. In general, I feel safe and comfortable here.”
