Independent Living
The place is very clean, and very very beautiful. Everybody here is very nice. Once person after another takes care of each other. The people are very caring and make newcomers feel welcome. It's a great place to live. They have security guards, which makes me feel very safe. We have washers and dryers in our apartments. And they're a very pet friendly community. Every time you come in they give your dog a treat. They love dogs here. One area for improvement is the food needs upgrading. I've had a few really good meals. But in general, they've cut the kitchen budget. So they're not using name brand or quality ingredients. For instance, when you have cold meat, they get the cheapest on the market. It's very salty, and just not any good. They don't use the top stuff in general, and that's the problem. I think the cost is expensive, but overall it's a good value.
Read moreThey are doing a great job. The only thing is the scheduled cleaning is once a week and I think they may need it a little more often. I have been overall very pleased with Autumn care and with Brenda the administrator, they helped make this as painless as possible. They eat well and enjoy the food. I like that If you have one parent that needs memory care and one that doesn't, they don't have to separate them.
Read moreIt is a wonderful place. It may be a bit expensive but my client is happy there and is enjoying it. This is a great community and it is like a country club and with lots of activities.
