Key Review Excerpts

The food is also a standout, fresh, well-prepared, and served in a setting that feels more like a resort than a retirement community.

Visitor · 2025★★★★★

The night nurse was very nasty to me regarding my night medications. I have had no luck getting a schedule for my evening/night meds and tonight she was VERY mean.

Rehab patient · 2025☆☆☆☆

My mom has a place there and it is really nice. She recovered from hip surgery in their rehab wing and had excellent treatment and said the staff did a great job.
