Key Review Excerpts

I moved here 4 months ago and it was a life changing decision (in a very good or way). The people are friendly, kind, and so interesting. The food is wonderful and healthy.

New resident · 2025★★★★★

The chef hand picks from the large organic gardens that are nurtured and can be viewed from the balconies.

Resident · 2025★★★★★

For the price, the level of knowledge/service in independent living is shockingly low - I’m sure staff turnover has a lot to do with it

Former resident · 2025★★☆☆☆
