“They handed us keys to a guest room and meal tickets, and that low-pressure approach gave us time to feel the place. After walking the mile loop, I said this is exactly where I want to live. We love the grounds, the waterfall and the paths. The director keeps her door open. The activities are fantastic, with great camaraderie. The maintenance team is fabulous; they installed a new washer and dryer on a very hot day. It's worth it, and I've been recommending it.”
