5 / 5.0

I’m living here currently and it’s going really, really well. I’m very pleased. When I moved in, my apartment was perfect. I had new carpet and new paint and it was really a pleasure to be able to move in. I was on the waiting list for a few months but they were able to give me exactly what I wanted...

5 / 5.0

We moved here in March 2023, after having done a fair bit of research on other senior living facilities. We found a community that genuinely seems to care about the well-being of its residents. Programs are available and plentiful, and the resident may participate to whatever extent he/she wishes. (...

5 / 5.0

At my first visit, I knew I could live here. This is a happy place - lots of activities or you can stay in your lovely apartment. The staff is friendly - knows your name and is ready to meet your needs.
