What this means for your family

While the facility is physically beautiful and the direct care staff are well-regarded, the administrative communication issues are a significant red flag. Before committing, ensure you have a direct line of communication with a reliable manager and get all move-in timelines and agreements in writing to avoid the frustrations reported by other families.

Key Review Excerpts

The administration and staff are caring, competent, available and friendly. They treat the residents with kindness and grace.

Long-term resident's family · 2025★★★★★

Have been waiting 3 months to move my parents in after given a room number. Moved them up from Florida after being told a week or two but definitely by August 1st. No call. Never return calls or emails.

Prospective resident's family · 2022☆☆☆☆

Administration/Management staff is unprofessional, rude, manipulative, and non truth tellers! If you bring up concerns they either don't respond or ghost your emails/voice messages.
