What this means for your family

This community is an excellent choice for independent seniors seeking an active, nature-oriented lifestyle with strong social engagement. However, families should be aware that it may not be equipped for residents with advanced dementia or behavioral needs; we strongly recommend asking the administration for their specific policies on resident retention and behavioral support before committing.

Key Review Excerpts

The cleanest, most respectful and life-affirming elder care facility I ever encountered.

Local Guide · 2018★★★★★

If you can be 100% sure that you or your loved one will always behave nicely - then this is the place for you. If any level of dementia creeps in, they will kick them out.

Family member · 2023☆☆☆☆

The Fellowship has been a godsend for our family. My mother is cared for with kindness and thoughtful attentiveness. There is incredible music, performances, movies, and book groups for my Mom to engage with.
